Technology Engineering Here’s how to generate a truly random number with quantum physics CURBy is available online and free to use. Andrew Paul Published Jun 12, 2025 2:01 PM EDT ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

ANU and AP13 have partnered to launch the world’s first Quantum Random Number Generator, which operates across 13 blockchains.

These numbers correspond to the symbols or numbers on the reels of the slot machine. The Time AI random number generator is simply a microprocessor.

Cryptography, too, relies heavily on random numbers for the generation of unbreakable keys. Better, cheaper ways of generating and handling such numbers are therefore always welcome.

A new random number generator that uses a micro laser developed by researchers at NTU Singapore is a hundred times faster than computer-based systems.

Researchers have built the fastest random-number generator ever made, using a simple laser. It exploits fluctuations in the intensity of light to generate randomness—a coveted resource in ...
