Abstract
We perform quantum calculations
of fluctuations of the electromagnetic fields in AA collisions
at RHIC and LHC energies. The analysis is based on the
fluctuation-dissipation theorem.
We find that in the quantum picture the field fluctuations
are very small. They turn out to be much smaller than the predictions
of the classical Monte-Carlo simulation with the Woods-Saxon nuclear density.
