Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.

The development of random number generators (RNGs) using speckle patterns is pivotal for secure encryption key generation, drawing from the recent statistical properties identified in speckle-based ...

Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS announces Q‑Dice, a high‑performance Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) that generates randomness based on quantum vacuum fluctuations. The ...

Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can enable auditors to make completely unbiased selections. Randomness is also ...

If you want to start an argument in certain circles, claim to have a random number generation algorithm. Turns out that producing real random numbers is hard, which is why people often turn to strange ...
