Must read: Number Representations in Computer Hardware In a newly published study, NIST scientists describe a random number generator that is fully traceable.

Technology Engineering Here’s how to generate a truly random number with quantum physics CURBy is available online and free to use. Andrew Paul Jun 12, 2025 2:01 PM EDT ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

The team's quantum computing method is able to not only generate these incredibly long, highly random numbers, but can also generate them in a reasonable amount of time.

A new network paradigm can generate meaningfully random numbers—and fast. In network encryption, randomness has huge value because it’s not “solvable” by hackers. Classical computers can ...

JPMorgan Says Quantum Experiment Generated Truly Random Numbers JPMorgan Chase & Co. has generated and certified so-called truly random numbers using a quantum computer, in a world-first that the bank ...

When you use a machine to generate a “random” number, then, what you’re actually getting is almost certainly a “pseudorandom” number – something that looks random, but technically isn’t.

In a bid to help IBM Z systems customers modernize their applications, IBM is expanding the abilities of its generative AI based Watson Code Assistant to include COBOL code translation into Java.
