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.

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 ...

Intel’s solution is a digital system that allows a microprocessor to make random values without relying on analog circuitry to do it. To understand how that is, we’ll have to delve in a bit ...
