This pull request adds support for simulating correlated noise across detectors, both in the documentation and in the simulation code. It introduces new APIs and parameters for specifying inter-detector noise correlations, including common-mode and arbitrary correlation matrix models. The documentation is updated with detailed explanations and usage examples.

Correlated noise simulation support:

  • Added a new add_correlated_noise function and exposed it in the package's public API (__init__.py). [1] [2]
  • Updated the add_noise method in simulations.py to support a new noise_type='correlated' mode, with a correlation parameter allowing users to specify groupings, correlation matrices, and other options. [1] [2] [3]

Documentation improvements:

  • Expanded the noise.rst documentation with a new section explaining correlated noise, including mathematical models, parameter descriptions, and code examples for both the common-mode and Cholesky models.

These changes enable more realistic detector noise simulations, especially for experiments where noise is not fully independent across detectors.
