Motivated by recent experiments with Josephson-junction circuits we reconsider decoherence effects in quantum two-level systems (TLS). On one hand, the experiments demonstrate the importance of 1/f noise, on the other hand, by operating at symmetry points one can suppress noise effects in linear order. We. therefore, analyze noise sources with a variety of power spectra, with linear or quadratic coupling, which are longitudinal or transverse relative to the eigenbasis of the unperturbed Hamiltonian. To evaluate the dephasing time for transverse 1/f noise second-order contributions have to be taken into account. Manipulations of the quantum state of the TLS define characteristic time scales. We discuss the consequences for relaxation and dephasing processes.
