Electrical Noise under the Fluctuation-Dissipation framework

Although the Fluctuation-Dissipation (F-D) framework for noise processes was published in 1951 by Callen and Welton, today's model for electrical noise does not fit in it. This model overseeing fluctuations of electrical energy in resistors becomes a limited interpretation of the work published in 1928 by Nyquist. This is why we propose a new, Quantum-compliant model for electrical noise that not only fits in the F-D framework, but also shows that the resistance noise known as 1/f excess noise in Solid-State devices and the phase noise found in electronic oscillators are some of its effects.
