Understanding randomness is crucial in many fields. From computer science and engineering to cryptography and weather forecasting, studying and interpreting randomness helps us simulate real-world ...

Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought impossible. They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum computer ...

Calculations show that injecting randomness into a quantum neural network could help it determine properties of quantum ...

One of the pieces of equipment for the quantum random number generator in the NIST Boulder laboratories. Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its ...

Noisy IBM quantum computers can produce random numbers certified by the laws of quantum mechanics 1, research has shown. Conventional random number generators rely on predictable mathematical ...

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

Rob Morris does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

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 ...

Key generators are a foundational technology in cryptography to keep enterprise communication and systems secure. Threat actors are attempting to predict patterns of conventional key generators to ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...
