In the Swiss experiment, the camera was used to create a 1.25 Gbit/s stream of random numbers. One worry about any random-number generator is that the numbers could be influenced in a predictable way ...

Scientists Discovered How to Generate Truly Random Numbers. It May Make Your Data Unhackable. Classical computers could only imitate trye randomness.

Making random numbers is a hot business in computer science. Graphics and cryptography, in particular, rely on randomness or at least randomness that's good enough to fool users/hackers/gamers. Mostly ...

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.

An understanding of random number generation is both a fascinating and important skill to have. We’ve featured so many RNGs over the years, here’s one powered by memes, and another by a fish tank.

A new random number generator that uses a micro laser developed by researchers at NTU Singapore is a hundred times faster than computer-based systems.
