Title: Nanoscale sensing of spatial correlations in nonequilibrium current noise

Abstract: Nitrogen-vacancy centers are spatially resolved probes of current noise. So far, current noise sensing with NV centers has primarily been used as a way to probe equilibrium transport coefficients. We develop a framework for computing the spatiotemporal correlations of nonequilibrium current noise in the Boltzmann regime, and apply it to two-dimensional metals in current-biased steady states. We argue that the spatial structure of the noise reveals the nonequilibrium nature of the electron distribution function, and more generally reveals the nature and lifetimes of the excitations responsible for transport. We estimate the visibility of these signatures in near-term experiments.
