Technology Engineering Here’s how to generate a truly random number with quantum physics Andrew Paul Jun 12, 2025 2:01 PM EDT ...

Using a single, chip-scale laser, scientists have managed to generate streams of completely random numbers at about 100 times the speed of the fastest random-numbers generator systems that are ...

A new network paradigm can generate meaningfully random numbers—and fast. In network encryption, randomness has huge value because it’s not “solvable” by hackers. Classical computers can ...

Researchers have built the fastest random-number generator ever made, using a simple laser. It exploits fluctuations in the intensity of light to generate randomness — a coveted resource in ...

A new laser can generate many sequences of random numbers at once, similar to throwing multiple dice at a time. Such ultrafast random number generators could someday help secure online ...
