Quantum 1/f noise is an intrinsic part of quantum mechanics. It comes from scattering of different particles of one another in solid state physics. Quantum 1/f noise is a source of Chaos in such systems.

[edit] Other noise data sets

1/f noise has also recently been discovered in higher ordered self constructing functions, as well as complex systems, both biological, chemical, and physical.

[edit] The theory

The basic derivation of Quantum 1/f was made by Peter Handel from the University of Missouri - St. Louis, and published in Physical Review A, in August 1980.
