In the past, experts developed calculating machines that worked with three digits, a ternary system, that they hoped would allow for more efficient information processing. In principle, any number can ...

AI image generation—which relies on neural networks to create new images from a variety of inputs, including text prompts—is ...

We present a true random number generator (TRNG) using dark noise of a CMOS image sensor. Because the proposed TRNG is based on the dark characteristics of the CMOS image sensor, it does not require ...

The universe now has an open, quantum-powered dice roll—free, provable, and ready for anyone to use. Credit: Shutterstock NIST’s CURBy beacon transforms quantum “spooky action” into certified random ...

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, have upgraded their previously developed quantum-based method for true random number generation. Thanks to the ...

Scientists in the US have built a system for creating truly random numbers which cannot be tampered with by a third party. Random numbers might be needed to pick jury members out of a field without ...

While the outcome is always random when measuring a single particle, a pair’s properties are more correlated than classical physics dictates. This allows experts to verify the randomness at a ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

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 ...

A quantum machine has used entangled qubits to generate a number certified as truly random for the first time, demonstrating a handy function that's physically beyond even the most powerful ...

A quantum computer has been used to generate and certify truly random numbers, something classical computers can’t do, paving the way for unhackable encryption. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers ...
