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.

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

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

Abstract: This paper presents a new type of True Random Number Generator (TRNG) based on jitter and metastability implemented in the latest family of Xilinx FPGA devices. The source of randomness is ...

Abstract: An ultra-fast true random number generator (TRNG) based on ill-posedness nucleation of skyrmion bags (sk-bags) with high topological charge (Q) is proposed and studied via numerical method.

PolymerCpp provides a number of Python functions that exposes the C++ routines for generating 3D WLCs, including Important Note: The self-avoiding wormlike chain in this program does not produce the ...

In this study, two-dimensional electronic fingerprinting was demonstrated and integrated into a memristive true random number generator (TRNG). For the device function of the TRNG, two modes of ...

In this case, we actually use the quantum computer to generate that randomness and then can test it to show that it passed all the requirements that we have for being a truly random number. Terry ...
