Sometimes you need random numbers — and properly random ones, at that. Hackaday Alum [Sean Boyce] whipped up a rig that serves up just that, tasty random bytes delivered fresh over MQTT. [Sean] tells ...

Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can enable auditors to make completely unbiased selections. Randomness is also ...

Even as quantum computing advances steadily, it will not replace classical computers in the near future. Most current systems ...

A team including Scott Aaronson demonstrated what may be the first practical application of quantum computers to a real world problem. Using a 56-qubit quantum computer, researchers have for the first ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have identified a precise sweet spot where quantum reservoir computing, a machine learning approach that treats quantum systems as computational engines, reaches ...

Advances in quantum hardware, middleware, and software will lead to a general-purpose quantum advantage machine being developed by 2030. Quantum computing combines quantum physics and computer science ...

Nearly three decades ago, a new method for encrypting digital information transformed online security. Dubbed RSA↓ RSA stands for “Rivest–Shamir–Adleman,” the surnames of its inventors. , it exploited ...

A Canadian startup called Xanadu has built a photon-based quantum computer it says should easily scale up. A Canadian startup called Xanadu has built a new quantum computer it says can be easily ...
