Taking a scientific approach, the U.S.-Indian team of computer scientists and mathematicians looked at the statistical patterns in sequences of Indus symbols.

Using a 56-qubit quantum computer, they have for the first time experimentally demonstrated certified randomness, a way of generating random numbers from a quantum computer and then using a ...

Random physical fluctuations – or noise – can be a source of errors for conventional computers, but for a prototype "thermodynamic computer" they can be harnessed to run calculations ...
