Low-frequency $1/f$ noise in magnetic flux is a dominant source of dephasing in superconducting qubits. Its origin has been a longstanding open question in condensed matter and device physics. The authors identify adsorbed O${}_{2}$ (paramagnetic, due to its spin triplet state) as the major contributor to magnetism and flux noise …
