Geezus. I have a degree in CSC from an engineering college. I did well in both math and physics; hell, I even enjoyed them. I've been working professionally for 25 years (with considerable success!).

I'm not sure if I could distinguish what you just said from a markov-chain-based paper generator.

I feel old.

You're probably around the same age as me then.

I wouldn't expect you to be familiar with it unless you've actually worked in the academia doing research quantum information. This isn't stuff we teach in class at all, even to PhD students, it's a part of research.

It'll also probably read like "from a markov-chain-based paper generator" to you too, but if you're interested about how actual noise behaves, you can read this for example: https://www.nature.com/articles/nphys1994 (arxiv link if you don't have access: https://arxiv.org/abs/1101.4707)

While it's about flux qubits, the 1/f behavior is almost universal in all current promising candidates, and DD virtually works in all quantum computers.
