Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.

Physicists used quantum bits to achieve perfect randomness for the first time ever. The results of their research could strengthen cryptography and other security systems.

Physicists at ETH Zurich have generated perfect random numbers using quantum entanglement, a breakthrough crucial for ...

In a new paper in Nature, a team of researchers from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and The University of Texas at Austin describe a milestone in ...

Randomness forms a crucial backbone of modern society, where every encryption key, secure transaction and digital signature ...

A team that included researchers at a US bank says it has created a protocol that can generate certified truly random numbers, opening the possibility that current generation quantum computers can be ...

Digital information exchange can be safer, cheaper and more environmentally friendly with the help of a new type of random number generator for encryption developed at Linköping University, Sweden.
