Due to presence of magnetic field gradient needed for coherent spin control, dephasing of single-electron spin qubits in silicon quantum dots is often dominated by $1/f$ charge noise. We investigate theoretically fluctuations of ground…

Characterizing charge noise is of prime importance to the semiconductor spin qubit community. We analyze the echo amplitude data from a recent experiment [Yoneda et al., Nat. Nanotechnol. 13, 102 (2018)] and note that the data shows small…

Single photons from semiconductor quantum dots are promising resources for linear optical quantum computing, or, when coupled to spin states, quantum repeaters. To realize such schemes, the photons must exhibit a high degree of…

Semiconductor nano-crystals, known as quantum dots (QDs), have attracted significant attention for their unique fluorescence properties. Under continuous excitation, QDs emit photons with intricate intensity fluctuation: the intensity of…

Modulated electroreflectance spectroscopy $\Delta R/R$ of semiconductor self-assembled quantum dots is investigated. The structure is modeled as dots with lens shape geometry and circular cross section. A microscopic description of the…

Single quantum dots and other materials exhibit irregular switching between on and off states; these on-off states follow power-law statistics giving rise to 1/f noise. We transfer this phenomenon (also referred to as on-off intermittency)…

Light scattering from resonantly or nearly resonantly excited systems, known as resonance fluorescence, has been gaining importance as a versatile tool for investigating quantum states of matter and readout of quantum information, recently…

The problem of anomalously high levels of flicker noise observed in the normal state of the high-temperature superconductors is addressed. It is argued that the anomaly is the result of incorrect normalization of the power spectra according…

We report unexpectedly large noise in the current from nanopatterned PbS quantum dot films. The noise is proportional to the current when the latter is varied by changing the source-drain bias, gate voltage or temperature. The spectral…

When a system is thermally coupled to only a small part of a larger bath, statistical fluctuations of the temperature (more precisely, the internal energy) of this "sub-bath" around the mean temperature defined by the larger bath can become…

Spectral density of current fluctuations in a short ballistic superconducting quantum point contact is calculated for arbitrary bias voltages $V$. Contrary to a common opinion that the supercurrent flow in Josephson junctions is coherent…

A quantum cascade laser where the quantum wells in the active regions are replaced by quantum dots with their atom-like discrete energy levels is an interesting system to study novel features in optical spectroscopy. We study structures…

Semiconductor nanoparticles (quantum dots) were studied in the context of liquid scintillator development for upcoming neutrino experiments. The unique optical and chemical properties of quantum dots are particularly promising for the use…

Photoluminescence (PL) intermittency is a ubiquitous phenomenon detrimentally reducing the temporal emission intensity stability of single colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) and the emission quantum yield of their ensembles. Despite efforts for…

The transition between distinct phases of matter is characterized by the nature of fluctuations near the critical point. We demonstrate that noise spectroscopy can not only diagnose the presence of a phase transition, but can also determine…

It is shown here that $1/f^\alpha$ flux noise in conventional low-T$_c$ SQUIDs is a result of low temperature superparamagnetic phase transitions in small clusters of strongly correlated color center defects. The spins in each cluster…

We show that it is possible to estimate the shape of an object by measuring only the fluctuations of a probing field, allowing us to expose the object to a minimal light intensity. This scheme, based on noise measurements through homodyne…

We derive the symmetrized current-noise spectrum of a quantum dot, which is weakly tunnel-coupled to an electron reservoir and driven by a slow time-dependent gate voltage. This setup can be operated as an on-demand emitter of single…

The light curves from a variety of celestial objects display aperiodic variations, often giving rise to red-noise components in their power spectra. Searching for a narrow power spectrum peak resulting from a periodic modulation over the…

Fundamental issues of 1/f noise in quantum nanoscience are reviewed starting from basic statistical noise processes. Fundamental noise models based on two-level systems (TLS) are described. We emphasize the importance of TLSs in materials…
