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 ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

Random numbers are critical to encryption algorithms, but they're nigh-on impossible for computers to generate. Now, Swedish researchers say they've created a new, super-secure quantum random number ...

Physicists manage to protect quantum information from noise using skyrmions, a key advance for networks and quantum computing.

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

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 ...

Physicists shot a laser pulse sequence mimicking the Fibonacci sequence at a quantum computer and ended up creating a new phase of matter in the process, according to a study published in Nature ...

A new microchip-sized device could dramatically accelerate the future of quantum computing. It controls laser frequencies ...
