While the outcome is always random when measuring a single particle, a pair’s properties are more correlated than classical physics dictates. This allows experts to verify the randomness at a ...

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.

Even if a random number generator used seemingly random processes in nature, it would be hard to verify that those numbers are truly random, Shalm added.

Quick! Think of a number between 1 and 10…was it 7? If it was, don't feel too bad, as human brains are notoriously bad at both true randomness and understanding probability. Even if you're too ...

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 ...

Using the inherent quantum flickering of empty space, researchers have figured out how to generate random numbers at an unprecedented rate. The record-breaking method could be used to enhance ...

If you need random numbers generated, steer clear of ChatGPT. Unless you want responses to be less random and more poisoned by human preferences, that is.

A Michigan man who won a lottery jackpot of $25,000 a year for life said the numbers on his winning ticket came from a random number generator he found online.

ANU launches quantum-powered random number generator on AWS Marketplace More than 310,000 active AWS customers will be able to make unlimited random number requests.

Microsoft Excel can do a lot of cool things. If you need it to generate random numbers, Susan Harkins can show you how.
