Abstract
A quantum-statistical derivation of the general frequency dependent Nyquist theorem is given, that has also a simple circuit-theoretical interpretation. Attention is brought on its application to some very low conductivity materials, where already at 100 Hz the equilibrium noise should be attenuated with a factor of 10−7, with respect to its zero frequency value.
