• Abstract: The nonlocal superconducting fluctuation corrections to the conductivity tensor $σ_{ij}(\mathbf{q},ω)$ are calculated within the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau framework, and their observable consequences for quantum noise magnetometry are worked out. For a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) sensor we obtain the relaxation rate $1/T_1$ as a function of temperature, sample-sensor distance, and probe frequency, identifying the scales at which the nonlocality and the dynamics of the pair fluctuations cut off the critical enhancement near $T_c$. For two-sensor covariance magnetometry we show that the two-point field correlator develops additional spatial structure whose range directly measures the fluctuation correlation length $ξ(T)$. We further analyze two channels that accompany the paraconductivity: the Maki-Thompson correction to the spin susceptibility, and the fluctuation diamagnetism. Finally, we solve exactly, to all orders in a dc electric field and at all wave vectors, for the nonequilibrium current noise of the fluctuating film: the noise decouples from the nonlinear paraconductivity, violating the fluctuation-dissipation theorem by universal factors at criticality and acquiring a bias-induced spatial anisotropy directly measurable by covariance magnetometry. The results are connected to a recent experiment measuring current noise near a thin film of BSCCO.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
