A truly random number is something that is surprisingly difficult to generate. A typical approach is to generate the required element of chance from a natural and unpredictable source, such as ...

The best we can do is to generate long sequences that have some of the key properties of random numbers. The programs that do this are called pseudo-random number generators.

Quantum number generators produce random numbers that are measurably different from those that computer programs generate.

Language features such as the SystemVerilog random sequence generator allow you to create instruction sequences randomly to improve stimulus quality based on a structured set of rules and scenarios.

You-Qi and co say their random number sequences pass all these tests with flying colors. The end result is the fastest quantum random number generator ever produced by some margin.

As a result, number theorists find it useful to treat the primes as a ‘pseudorandom’ sequence, as if it were created by a random-number generator. But if the sequence were truly random, then a ...

Random numbers are used in several important technologies including cryptography and numerical simulation. However, large sequences of truly random numbers are notoriously difficult to generate – and ...
