Both basic models of mesoscopic physics considered in this context are exactly solvable and constitute effective descriptions of experimentally realizable systems. They consist of a quantum dot that is coupled via quantum tunneling to two electrodes. In one case, the electron-electron interaction is completely neglected, whereas in the other, it is taken into account in a specific manner. On the basis of these models, it is shown by means of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism how the current noise approaches its steady state after an abrupt change of a system parameter and in what respect this behavior differs qualitatively from the time evolution of the current itself. Moreover, the first steps toward the treatment of a related problem - the time-dependent heat noise - are presented.
