Dissipationless dynamics of randomly coupled spins at high temperatures

We develop a technique to compute the high-frequency asymptotics of spin correlators in weakly interacting disordered spin systems. We show that the dynamical spin correlator decreases exponentially at high frequencies ⟨SS⟩_ω ∼ exp(−τ∗ω) and compute the characteristic time τ∗ of this dependence. In a typical random configuration, some fraction of spins form strongly coupled pairs, which behave as two-level systems. Their switching dynamics is driven by the high-frequency noise from the surrounding spins, resulting in low-frequency 1/f noise in the magnetic susceptibility and other physical quantities. We discuss application of these results to the problem of susceptibility and flux noise in superconducting circuits at mK temperatures
