Abstract
Quantum 1/f noise is the manifestation of the coherent and conventional quantum 1/f effects (Q1/fE). The conventional Q1/fE is a fundamental quantum fluctuation of physical cross sections σ and process rates Γ, caused by the bremsstrahlung (recoil) energy and momentum losses of charged particles, when they are scattered, or accelerated in any way. The closely related coherent Q1/fE is present in any current carried by many particles. It is caused by the energy spread characterizing any coherent state of the electromagnetic field oscillators. According to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, because an approximation of the phase or position variable is known, exact knowledge of the energy is precluded. This energy spread results in nonstationary energy values, or fluctuations in the energy of the oscillators. To find the spectral density of these inescapable basic fluctuations, which are known to characterize any quantum state, which is not an energy eigenstate, we use an elementary physical derivation based on Schrödinger's definition of coherent states, which can be supplemented by a rigorous derivation from a well-known quantum-electrodynamical branch-point propagator. The example of a simple harmonic oscillator is also useful for illustrating the uncertainty that arises due to Q 1/f Noise. Clearly illustrating the relation between the uncertainty principle and Q 1/f noise.
