The physicists in China claim that they have done it.
One of the most valued qualities of society is privacy.
Although, there is a glitch to it.
It is very difficult to generate random numbers in large quantities.
One that is essentially random and one of the best sources is the quantum world.
As an alternative, physicists have moved to natural processes to generate random numbers.
That is the reason why physicists tend to choose to use quantum processes to produce random numbers.
Many ways have been tried by the physicists to produce quantum random numbers.
Merely counting the photons that are shown or sent generates a random sequence of 0s and 1s.
Thats precisely how the worlds only commercially available quantum random number generator works.
The physicists of late have started to mess about with a new technique.
This emerges from the two different ways photons are produced inside lasers.
While the second is an completely random quantum process, which is known as spontaneous emission.
It may be possible to exploit their random nature, if it is possible to measure these photons.
You-Qi and co have done exactly that.
That has allowed the team to measure these random changes and digitize them at a rate of 80 Gbps.
The team is however is still able to generate random numbers at the rate of 68 Gbps after this.
Any sequence of numbers is perfectly random cannot be guaranteed in any way.
You-Qi and co claim their random number sequences pass all these tests with flying colors.
The end result is the fastest quantum random number generator ever manufactured by some margin.
That outstanding work should make the ground ready for use for some mainstream applications using quantum cryptography.
