The Theory
The basic derivation of quantum 1/f was made by Dr. Peter Handel, a theoretical physicist at the University of Missouri - St. Louis, and published in Physical Review A, in August 1980.
Several hundreds of papers have been published by many authors on Handel's quantum theory on 1/f noise, which is a new aspect of quantum mechanics. They verified, applied, and further developed the quantum 1/f noise formulas. See the "General Quantum 1/f Bibliography" at http://www.umsl.edu/~handel. Aldert van der Ziel, the nestor of the electronic noise field, verified and applied it in many devices and systems, together with dozens of his PhD students. It is described in the last of his 12 books: "Noise in electronic devices and circuits" published by Wiley in 1986. He also updated and generalized many verifications, practical applications, etc., in his authoritative 1988 review "Unified Description of 1/f Noise" in Proceedings of IEEE. For more on Quantum 1/f noise, see: P.H. Handel: Phys. Rev. Letters of June 16, 1975 (2 papers), and also "1/f Macroscopic Quantum Fluctuations of Electric Currents Due to Bremsstrahlung with Infrared Radiative Corrections", Zeitschrift fuer Naturforschung 30a, p. 1201 (1975). For the coherent quantum 1/f effect, see the Physica Status Solidi paper of 1996, the Transactions in Electron Devices paper of 1994, and the Proceedings of IEEE paper with graduate student Adam Tournier of 2005, all shown in the above mentioned quantum 1/f bibliography.

Famous quotes containing the word theory:
“Thus the theory of description matters most.
It is the theory of the word for those
For whom the word is the making of the world,
The buzzing world and lisping firmament.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
