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.

Error-correction, which is fundamental to a multi-purpose computer, is such a significant challenge in quantum computers that I don’t believe they’ll ever be built at a commercial scale. [ You ...

A new random number generator that uses a micro laser developed by researchers at NTU Singapore is a hundred times faster than computer-based systems.
