• Abstract summary: Silicon quantum dot qubits show great promise but suffer from charge noise with a 1/falpha spectrum, where f is frequency and alpha lesssim 1. We find that noise with a $1/falpha$ spectrum with $alpha lesssim 1 down to low frequencies, the duration of temperature fluctuations must be comparable to the inverse of the lowest frequency at which the noise is measured. We conclude that temperature fluctuations in a 2DEG sub-bath would require an unphysically long duration to be consistent with experimental measurements of 1/f-like charge noise in quantum dots

• Abstract: Silicon quantum dot qubits show great promise but suffer from charge noise with a 1/f^\alpha spectrum, where f is frequency and \alpha \lesssim 1. It has recently been proposed that 1/f^\alpha noise spectra can emerge from a few thermally activated two-level fluctuators in the presence of sub-bath temperature fluctuations associated with a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG)~\cite{Ahn2021}. We investigate this proposal by doing Monte Carlo simulations of a single Ising spin in a bath with a fluctuating temperature. We find that to obtain noise with a $1/f^\alpha$ spectrum with $alpha \lesssim 1 down to low frequencies, the duration of temperature fluctuations must be comparable to the inverse of the lowest frequency at which the noise is measured. This result is consistent with an analytic calculation in which the fluctuator is a two-state system with dynamics governed by time-dependent switching rates. In this case we find that the noise spectrum follows a Lorentzian at frequencies lower than the inverse of the average duration of the lowest switching rate. We then estimate relaxation times of thermal fluctuations by considering thermal diffusion in an electron gas in a confined geometry. We conclude that temperature fluctuations in a 2DEG sub-bath would require an unphysically long duration to be consistent with experimental measurements of 1/f-like charge noise in quantum dots at frequencies extending well below 1 Hz.

  We show that the noise power spectrum of the noise $S(omega)propto e-C/T3/8$ can differ from those of Ahn by several orders of magnitude at low temperatures. We also compare the numerical results that one would obtain from the two models and find that our results for $S(omega)$ can differ from those of Ahn by several orders of magnitude at low temperatures.

  It is shown that the quantum indeterminacy caused by non-commutativity of observables at different times sets a lower bound on the power spectrum of voltage fluctuations. A comparison with the experimental data on 1/f noise in InGaAs quantum wells and high-temperature superconductors is made which shows that the observed noise levels are only a few times as high as the bound established.

  Quantum emitters in hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) were recently reported to hol a homogeneous linewidth according to the Fourier-Transform limit up to room temperature. This unusual observation was traced back to decoupling from in-plane phonon modes which can arise if the emitter is located between two planes of the hBN host material.
