Quantum physicists unveil most 'trustworthy' random-number generator yet
Briefly

Physicists have pioneered a novel system that generates truly random numbers by combining quantum physics and blockchain technology, enhancing transparency and trust. This method, rooted in a 2018 technique involving entangled photons, allows independent verification at each measurement stage. By using blockchain, the process ensures that every step can be logged and monitored for tampering, reinforcing the integrity of applications relying on random numbers such as lotteries and clinical trials. The transparency thus added offers a powerful tool for fostering trust in random number generation.
The outcome of quantum experiments is inherently unpredictable, and by combining this aspect with blockchain techniques, physicists have generated transparent random numbers.
The new system incorporates quantum-particle physics to provide truly random numbers, maintaining verification and tracking throughout the process via blockchain technology.
