Feel free to share your theories on the best random number generator designs below, or send your best builds straight to the tipsline. Randomly, of course!

A new random number generator that uses a micro laser developed by researchers at NTU Singapore is a hundred times faster than computer-based systems.

A new laser’s chaotic light beam lets the device generate multiple number sequences at once, similar to throwing multiple dice at a time.

There’s no cheating this random number generator The protocol ensures jury duty selections and other draws are truly random and secure ...

A team including CU PREP researchers and scientists from CU Boulder and NIST have built the first random number generator using quantum entanglement to produce verifiable random numbers. The group ...

Using a single, chip-scale laser, scientists have managed to generate streams of completely random numbers at about 100 times the speed of the fastest random-numbers generator systems that are ...

Here we present a simple experimental setup based on homodyne measurements that uses the purity of a continuous-variable quantum vacuum state to generate unique random numbers.

Technology Engineering Here’s how to generate a truly random number with quantum physics CURBy is available online and free to use. Andrew Paul Published Jun 12, 2025 2:01 PM EDT ...

The method used to generate the digits, a pair of 555 timers sending pulses through linear-feedback shift registers, would at best be considered pseudo-random.
