Whether it’s a game of D&D or encrypting top-secret information, a wide array of methods are available for generating the needed random numbers with high enough entropy for their use case. For a ...

Random number generation is an essential feature in Excel, allowing users to perform tasks such as simulations, creating test datasets, or experimenting with spreadsheet models. Excel provides three ...

Computers struggle to create randomness, but a new approach may finally enable them to generate a truly random number. Such numbers are a vital ingredient for cryptographic algorithms and scientific ...

This release is available in German. Behind every coincidence lies a plan - in the world of classical physics, at least. In principle, every event, including the fall of dice or the outcome of a game ...

We think of random numbers as being somehow arbitrary and unknowable in advance. Mathematically, a given string of numbers is random if there is no shorter way to express the string than the string ...

God, Albert Einstein famously declared, does not play dice. It’s a pithy statement, but a revealing one: to the famously genius physicist, true randomness – and the new quantum framework that ...

Samsung has a solid track record with smartphone security, but it has upped the ante with its latest offering: the Galaxy Quantum 2. This includes something called a quantum random number generator ...
