Researchers Say They’ve Achieved Perfect Randomness
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — 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 slightly more frequently than others. For many applications, this does not matter. In cryptography, however, even the tiniest deviations can be problematic. Now, researchers […]

Researchers Trap a Single Atom on a Photonic Chip, Opening a Route to Integrated Quantum Optics
Insider Brief: Quantum technologies often advance through small acts of control, such as holding an object still, placing it in the right field, or making it interact with light in a predictable way. In a recently published arXiv preprint, researchers at Quantum Source and the Weizmann Institute of Science report one such act of control […]
