DTU spin-out company develops quantum mechanical random number generator that must be reduced to chip size to be included in the electronics in mobile phones.

Feel free to share your theories on the best random number generator designs below, or send your best builds straight to the tipsline. Randomly, of course!

One worry about any random-number generator is that the numbers could be influenced in a predictable way by non-quantum (classical) effects in the system. This could lead to a measurement bias, for ...

A perfectly provable random number generator is the bedrock of good cryptography. This scientist wants to make one.

The method used to generate the digits, a pair of 555 timers sending pulses through linear-feedback shift registers, would at best be considered pseudo-random.

This value is what is translated into specific number sets corresponding to the reels. The number selected by the random number generator is what determines the outcome for every spin.

That means that even if some enemy understands everything about how the random number generator works, they still can’t predict the outcome.

There’s no cheating this random number generator The protocol ensures jury duty selections and other draws are truly random and secure ...

When this part of the technology development is in place, the price of the quantum mechanical random number generator will be so low that it may be interesting for the large companies in the mobile ...
