Abstract:
To verify the hypothesis about the common origin of the low-frequency 1/f noise and the quantum f noise recently measured in the Josephson charge qubits, we study the temperature dependence of the 1/f noise and decay of coherent oscillations. The T2 dependence of the 1/f noise is experimentally demonstrated, which supports the hypothesis. We also show that dephasing in the Josephson charge qubits off the electrostatic energy degeneracy point is consistently explained by the same low-frequency 1/f noise that is observed in the transport measurements.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
