abstract = {Magnetic flux noise is a source of pure dephasing in superconducting flux qubits. Measurements on dc Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices over a range of temperatures show that the flux noise spectral density is {\$}A^2/(f/1 \hbox{Hz})^\alpha{\$}, where {\$}A{\$} is of the order of 1 {\$}\mu\Phi{\_}0 \, \hbox{Hz}^{-1/2}{\$} and {\$}0.61 \leq \alpha \leq 0.95{\$}; {\$}\Phi{\_}{0}{\$} is the flux quantum. For a qubit with an energy level splitting linearly coupled to the applied flux, calculations of the dependence of the pure dephasing time {\$}\tau{\_}\phi{\$} on {\$}\alpha{\$} for fixed {\$}A{\$} show that {\$}\tau{\_}\phi{\$} decreases rapidly as {\$}\alpha{\$} is reduced. We present numerical values of {\$}\tau{\_}\phi{\$} for the measured values of {\$}A{\$} and {\$}\alpha{\$}.},
