While the outcome is always random when measuring a single particle, a pair’s properties are more correlated than classical physics dictates. This allows experts to verify the randomness at a ...

In a classical computer, you can never make a truly random number, which is one big reason computer scientists have had high hopes for quantum computers.

A new algorithm brings together the advantages of randomness and deterministic processes to reliably construct large prime numbers.

Intel's first attempt to help an average computer produce better random numbers came in 1999, when the company introduced the Firmware Hub chipset component.
