Abstract
We analyze heat current fluctuations between electrons and phonons in a metal. In equilibrium we recover the standard result consistent with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Here we show that heat current noise at finite frequencies, remains non-vanishing down to zero temperature. We briefly discuss the impact of electron-phonon heat current fluctuations on calorimetry, in particular in the regime of single microwave-photon detection.
