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 ...

Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure random number generation, an essential building block for future digital infrastructure Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure ...

A team that included researchers at a US bank says it has created a protocol that can generate certified truly random numbers, opening the possibility that current generation quantum computers can be ...

A team including Scott Aaronson demonstrated what may be the first practical application of quantum computers to a real world problem. Using a 56-qubit quantum computer, researchers have for the first ...

A group of researchers from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and The University of Texas at Austin has reached a major milestone in quantum ...

Random numbers are needed in a variety of endeavours. Traditionally, pseudo-random numbers generated via a mathematical process are used instead, but the Australian National University's ANU Quantum ...
