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

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.

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

What they have created is an algorithm which ensures that seemingly random numbers really are as random as they look. “We believe, and our paper proves, that in quantum experiments much more ...

A new network paradigm can generate meaningfully random numbers—and fast. In network encryption, randomness has huge value because it’s not “solvable” by hackers. Classical computers can ...

The team's quantum computing method is able to not only generate these incredibly long, highly random numbers ... "[W]e demonstrate a useful beyond-classical application of gate-based digital ...

The photon numbers of all the camera pixels are combined in an “extractor” algorithm that ... One worry about any random-number generator is that the numbers could be influenced in a predictable way ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number ... a classical computer, which processes them to generate ...

But there’s a problem. Classical computers cannot generate truly random numbers. They rely on algorithms or hardware random number generators, which can be manipulated. If a hacker gains control ...
