61. Equation 11 coincides with Eq. (5) of Ref. which has been obtained by a different method. The two terms in Eq. (5) of Ref. give the same contributions, in agreement with Eq. 5 of the present paper.
62. We use the following convention for the current correlation function: SI (t′ - t″) = (1/2) { Δ I (t′), Δ I (t″) }, where Δ I (t) = I (t) - I. The current noise power SI SI (Ω=0) is the zero-frequency component of the Fourier transform SI (Ω).
