Professor Balandin gave an opening talk and two lectures on the history and fundamentals of 1/f noise, and recent developments in the noise field, which included 1/f noise in graphene, low-dimensional materials, and noise in charge-density-wave quantum materials. The workshop on the “1/f Noise from Condensed Matter Physics to Quantum Technologies” was part of the International School of Nonequilibrium Phenomena organized by the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture (EMFCSC) in Erice, Sicily, Italy (April 2022). The History of EMFCSC states that “Every year since 1963, authors of new discoveries and inventions come to Erice; 102 of them were awarded the Nobel Prize after their participation in the EMFCSC activities and 49 were already Nobel laureates.”
