NIST’s CURBy beacon transforms quantum “spooky action” into certified random numbers, guarded by a blockchain-like Twine protocol and broadcast for public use
Randomness is a useful resource. Random numbers are a key ingredient in cryptography, statistical analysis, computer simulation, and (more obviously) lotteries
Researchers at ICFO in Barcelona, Spain, worked with spinout QuSide to developed a fast quantum random number generators that is being used the US National
NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder have created a public service that delivers random numbers using quantum mechanics. Called the Colorado University
Looking for a good random number? NIST has you covered. According to a NIST report last week, NIST and its partners at the University of Colorado Boulder have
