In quantum dots made from materials with nonzero nuclear spins, hyperfine coupling creates a fluctuating effective Zeeman field (Overhauser field) felt by electrons, which can be a dominant source of spin qubit decoherence. We characterize…

Let $m\geq 3$, we prove that $(\alpha n^\theta \mod 1)_{n>0}$ has Poissonian $m$-point correlation for all $\alpha>0$, provided $\theta<\theta_m$, where $\theta_m$ is an explicit bound which goes to $0$ as $m$ increases. This work builds on…
