Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have demonstrated a means of generating "perfect randomness" by using entangled superconducting qubits. Creating true randomness is extremely difficult. Even the most ...
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 ...
David Dias, research engineer at Protocol Labs and the drand project lead, along with Nicolas Gailly, research scientist at Protocol Labs and the original author of drand, recently explained how ...
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that not all forms of quantum nonlocality guarantee intrinsic randomness. They ...
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 ...
Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Randomness Function) has recently gone live on the Ethereum mainnet, and the no-loss lottery game PoolTogether is the first project to adopt it. Verifiable randomness is ...
