This ICNF 2013 paper by Handel and Nasiri Avanaki examines dependence of 1/f noise on the distance between wires, demonstrating the quantum 1/f proximity effect. The research shows that quantum 1/f noise in parallel conductors depends on their separation distance through electromagnetic coupling and quantum entanglement effects, with practical implications for integrated circuit design, crosstalk analysis, and understanding fundamental noise limits in nanoscale interconnects where quantum proximity effects become significant.
