Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and ...

God, Albert Einstein famously declared, does not play dice. It’s a pithy statement, but a revealing one: to the famously ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, have upgraded their previously developed quantum-based method for true random number generation. Thanks to ...

Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can ...

Scientists have built the first ever traceable and certifiable random number generator that uses quantum entanglement.

Scientists built the fastest quantum random number generator, creating truly random numbers using light from atoms, boosting ...

The team's quantum computing method is able to not only generate these incredibly long, highly random numbers, but can also generate them in a reasonable amount of time. Though we're all still a ...
