Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and ...

Upgraded system produces strings of random bits in a process that is fully traceable. The outcome of quantum experiments is ...

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.

Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can ...

Not only has quantum theory stood the test of time, but it’s proved useful in everything from computing, to biol ...

Those almost certainly come from quantum physics. Harness those edge correlations, and “you can turn that into the best random number generator that the universe allows,” Shalm said.

But how do you know that a random number is truly random? Classical computer algorithms can only create pseudo-random numbers, and someone with enough knowledge of the algorithm or the system ...

But spreadsheets can still be useful to generate random numbers in Excel. Random data can be used as input to a formula so as to test how it works under simulated conditions or used to randomly ...
