Physicists create 'perfect randomness'

Even the most sophisticated classical random number generators have minute biases that make their sequences predictable over ...
(Busà Photography/Moment/Getty Images) One of the hardest things to do in physics is to generate true, provably unpredictable ...
Perfect randomness sounds simple, until you try to make it. A die can be polished, balanced and rolled thousands of times.
Random number generators have been around for ages, but they often have subtle imperfections that cause patterns to emerge.
Researchers have developed a quantum method to amplify less random numbers to certifiably random ones, enhancing digital ...
