  We investigate the capability of dynamical decoupling techniques to reduce
decoherence from a realistic environment generating 1/f noise. The predominance
of low frequency modes in the noise profile allows for decoherence scenarios
where relatively slow control rates suffice for a drastic improvement. However,
the actual figure of merit is very sensitive to the details of the dynamics,
with decoupling performance which may deteriorate for non-Gaussian noise and/or
high frequency working points. Our results are promising for robust solid-state
qubits and beyond.
