Scientists at NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder have created CURBy, a cutting-edge quantum randomness beacon that draws on the intrinsic unpredictability of quantum entanglement to produce ...

Randomness is essential to some research, but it’s always been prohibitively complicated to achieve. Now, we can use “pseudorandomness” instead. Nothing is certain in the quantum realm. A particle, ...

At JPMorgan Chase headquarters, a quiet quantum coup: the bank just beat Big Tech to a breakthrough in certified randomness—marking a rare win for Wall Street in the race to make quantum computing ...

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 ...

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...

It sort of popped into my head when someone I knew said there is no reason to feel happy or sad over anything as it's all just random interactions with particles and waves, and things like that. So I ...

(via Be Smart) Coin tosses aren't truly random. Lava lamps help secure the internet. And quantum physics might break encryption—or save it. This video is what randomness really means, and why your ...
