Scientists built the fastest quantum random number generator, creating truly random numbers using light from atoms, boosting ...

Because of its importance, much scientific effort is devoted to understanding when a given process generates ‘good’ randomness. A process is represented by a device, or black box, producing ...

Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought ...

Argonne researchers have visualized the decision-making process of domain walls in real time using Lorentz transmission ...

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first ...

If yes, you may be holding on to some serious misconceptions about randomness. Here’s what it means for something to truly happen by chance. Randomness is an often misunderstood concept.

Randomness would seem to make a mathematical statement harder to prove. In fact, it often does the opposite. Of all the tools available to the mathematician, randomness would seem to offer little ...

System designers are typically more concerned with the power consumption and bit generation speed, than with the actual randomness of the bits generated. This is strange, considering that in most, if ...

Ask a designer or artist if any aspect of their process is random. The answer will likely reveal a complex relationship between human cognition, digital media, authorship, and even conceptions of ...
