It’s quantum, it’s chaotic, it makes for a great source for a random number generator, and there are already dozens of prototype circuits around the Internet.

Random numbers are important for computer encryption, lotteries, scientific modelling, and gambling. Current methods of generating random numbers can produce predictable results.

But how random is random? It’s a fair question. History has been shown that tools designed to generate random numbers — both physical and virtual — can be prone to failure.

Fast quantum random number generator could advance cryptography on the cheap According to Jun Zhang, a physicist at Hefei and a co-author of the research published in Applied Physics Letters, the ...

Random numbers are crucial for computing, but our current algorithms aren’t truly random. Researchers at Brown University have now found a way to tap into the fluctuations of quasiparticles to ...

However, Excel's random number functions are volatile, meaning they change constantly. In this article, I'll show you how to generate and fix random numbers and remove duplicates.
