A team of international scientists has developed a laser that can generate 254 trillion random digits per second, more than a hundred times faster than computer-based random number generators (RNG).

“This is a marvelous step” toward more efficient random number generation, says Rajarshi Roy, a physicist at the University of Maryland in College Park who was not involved in the work. Random number ...

Hackers love random numbers, or more accurately, the pursuit of them. It turns out that computers are so good at following our exacting instructions that they are largely incapable of doing anything ...

Dublin, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Quantum Random Number Generator Market 2025-2040" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global quantum random number ...

Less than a minute into my phone call with QuintessenceLabs’ CTO John Leiseboer, he goes silent. There’s a click, a bleep, and he’s back on the line. “We’ll assume it was a random event,” he jokes.

If you want to start an argument in certain circles, claim to have a random number generation algorithm. Turns out that producing real random numbers is hard, which is why people often turn to strange ...

Using a single, chip-scale laser, scientists have managed to generate streams of completely random numbers at about 100 times the speed of the fastest random-numbers generator systems that are ...

Two University of Texas academics have made what some experts believe is a breakthrough in random number generation that could have longstanding implications for cryptography and computer security.
