The three elements of quantum fluctuations, nonlinearity and time-delayed feedback work together in this experiment to produce a virtually inexhaustible store of random numbers at the highest ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

The Big Bang model begins with a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down. This is a deep theoretical problem that suggests the beginning of the Universe is not fully understood, ...

Gravity can exist without mass.” It’s a statement that upends a century of astrophysical dogma and, for some, sounds as plausible as finding a unicorn in a particle accelerator. But in a series of ...

We propose and demonstrate a scheme to realize a high-efficiency truly quantum random number generator (RNG) at room temperature. Using an effective extractor with simple time bin encoding method, the ...

Quantum clocks break energy limits, unlocking ultra-precise timekeeping with far-reaching tech, AI, and navigation impacts.

While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true for the ...

Individual defects in superconducting quantum circuits have been imaged for the first time, thanks to research by scientists ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-thin drumhead-like membrane that lets sound signals, or phonons, travel through it with ...

Understanding randomness is crucial in many fields. From computer science and engineering to cryptography and weather ...

Technology Quantum computers are surprisingly random – but that's a good thing While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true ...
