Abstract :
Quantum mechanics and electrodynamics require the presence of fundamental quantum fluctuations of physical currents, cross sections, and process rates. The present paper calculates these fluctuations, shows that they have a simple universal 1/f spectrum, and shows how they invariably come to the foreground in high-technology applications, because in them all other fluctuations and sources of instability have been either eliminated, or otherwise discounted and put under control
