Global first: Quantum computer generates bits of unpredictable randomness
Certified randomness achieved with quantum computer, opening doors to unbreakable cryptography and secure digital systems.
"When I first proposed my certified randomness protocol in 2018, I had no idea how long I’d need to wait to see an experimental demonstration of it,” said Aaronson, who now directs a quantum center at a major university. In simpler terms, they confirmed over 71,000 bits of fresh, pure randomness that no hacker, spy, or dishonest actor could have predicted or faked. That jump in performance helped researchers finally carry out the certified randomness protocol and confirm the results using classical methods.
