Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.

Researchers have developed a quantum method to amplify less random numbers to certifiably random ones, enhancing digital ...

Modern recruiting is marked by an “algorithmic monoculture” in which only a small number of vendors supply applicant ...

Gold and silver spoofing cases taught U.S. regulators to fight market manipulation at machine speed. The catch: the cop is ...

Studies show AI can match kriging at estimating gold deposits. So why do the audited filings that move mining stocks still ...

Creating perfect randomness is surprisingly difficult. Even modern random number generators never generate completely ideal random numbers: small systematic errors can result in some numbers appearing ...

Physicists used quantum bits to achieve perfect randomness for the first time ever. The results of their research could ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method to generate what they describe as ...

Watching hours of “sheepdog YouTube”—competitions where trained dogs shepherd a small number of unpredictable sheep—gave ...

Even the most modern random number generators do not produce perfectly random numbers, which can be a problem for cryptographic applications. ETH Zurich researchers use entangled superconducting ...

Amazon says its new RNG networking architecture could cut data center power use by 40% while boosting performance and ...

In May, Adeniyi Adewale almost committed suicide in Akure, Ondo state, after losing around $30,000 belonging to his boss to a ...
