Perfect randomness sounds simple, until you try to make it. A die can be polished, balanced and rolled thousands of times.

ETH Zurich scientists for the first time created certified perfect random numbers using entangled quantum chips.

Creating perfect randomness is surprisingly difficult. Even modern random number generators never generate completely ideal ...

Abstract: A construction of a channel code by using a source code with decoder side information is introduced. The encoder and decoder pair of any source code can be used for the construction.

Lottery frenzy continues — just in time for the holiday season! Powerball reached $1 billion jackpot, and recently five Florida tickets from five drawings in less than a month got lucky. As they say ...

A quantum-powered recreation of Conway’s Game of Life using Qiskit. Each cell’s fate is decided by true quantum randomness. Demonstration of quantum randomness via Buffon’s Needle Problem using Qiskit ...

Add a description, image, and links to the true-random-number-generator topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Why does this story matter? Most so-called random number generators, crucial for encrypting sensitive data, aren't truly random. They follow pre-determined sequences. Since computers rely on fixed ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a class of codes, referred to as random staircase generator matrix codes (SGMCs), which have staircase-like generator matrices. In the infinite-length region, we ...

What do severed macrodata refiners actually do at Lumon? That was one of Severance season one’s biggest questions. All those employees know is that their “work is mysterious and important.” It’s also ...
