The reality is sobering: The average 401 (k) balance of a Gen Xer is about $190,000, while the average balance for Boomers ...

A team including CU PREP researchers and scientists from CU Boulder and NIST have built the first random number generator using quantum entanglement to produce verifiable random numbers. The group ...

Quantum Computing Approach Generates First Ever Truly Random Number The task, which even conventional supercomputers can’t perform, could improve online security and make some processes, such as ...

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 ...

If you want to start an argument in certain circles, claim to have a random number generation algorithm. Turns out that producing real random numbers is hard, which is why people often turn to stra… ...

A data brief released by the CDC on Tuesday indicated that 15% of children and adolescents aged 5-17 received treatment for mental health issues in 2021.

Yet in an uncanny number of real-world data sets, an astonishing 30.1 percent of the entries begin with a 1, 17.6 percent begin with a 2, and so on. This phenomenon is known as Benford's law.

Using the inherent quantum flickering of empty space, researchers have figured out how to generate random numbers at an unprecedented rate. The record-breaking method could be used to enhance ...

This seems like a strange publication today, as it was simply a book filled with random number tables. Yet it has been a very important tool in the study of statistics and probability.
