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

Researchers in Switzerland claim to have built a perfect random number generator from two quantum superconducting chips, a 30-meter-long pipe, and some software. The resulting device could be used to ...

Randomness plays a critical role in the unpredictability of modern casual games, especially in digital entertainment that ...

Creating perfect randomness is surprisingly difficult. Even modern random number generators never generate completely ideal random numbers: small systematic errors can result in some numbers appearing ...

Even the most modern random number generators do not produce perfectly random numbers, which can be a problem for cryptographic applications. ETH Zurich researchers use entangled superconducting ...

Researchers have, for the first time, created certifiably perfect random numbers using a quantum experiment. These can be used, for instance, for encrypting messages. (Nanowerk News) Creating perfect ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method to generate what they describe as “perfect” random numbers using quantum physics, a breakthrough that could strengthen encryption systems and digital ...
