The device spits out number sequences more than 100 times quicker than other generators A new laser can generate many sequences of random numbers at once, similar to throwing multiple dice at a time.

Random numbers are important for computer encryption, lotteries, scientific modelling, and gambling. Current methods of generating random numbers can produce predictable results.

Admittedly, the SB42 Random Number Generator built by [Simon Boak] isn’t exactly something you’d be using for cryptography.
