A wide variety of applications, including data encryption and circuit testing, require random numbers. As the cost of the hardware become cheaper, it is feasible and frequently necessary to implement ...

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 ...

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).
