Abstract: Efficiently retrieving relevant data from massive Internet of Things (IoT) networks is essential for downstream tasks such as machine learning. This paper addresses this challenge by ...

The need for true randomness is further highlighted by two recent incidents where flawed random-number generation nearly compromised global security. In 2024, PuTTY, a popular SSH client, had a major ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A random sequence of zeroes ...

When selling products in an online shop, a challenge often arises in how to connect paper flyers or catalogs with online product pages. For example, on a flyer, you might have: Product No. 1 Product ...

One of the hardest things to do in physics is to generate true, provably unpredictable randomness. That's because it's impossible to determine randomness based on the output alone. The difficulty lies ...

It’s been three-and-a-half years since generative AI exploded onto the scene. In this past year, progress has continued its relentless pace: Vibe coding took off, companies embraced agentic workflows, ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have, for the first time, created certifiably perfect random numbers using a quantum experiment. These can be used, for instance, for encrypting messages. Even the most ...

Two quantum chips linked through a 30-meter cooled tube enabled scientists to create certified perfectly random numbers.ETH Zurich Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method to generate what ...

Creating perfect randomness is surprisingly difficult. Even modern random number generators never generate completely ideal random numbers: small systematic errors can result in some numbers appearing ...

Even the most modern random number generators do not produce perfectly random numbers, which can be a problem for cryptographic applications. ETH Zurich researchers use entangled superconducting ...
