Computer scientists at the University of Glasgow have borrowed from the world of geology and crystals to help machines better generate random numbers. While computers whip up "random" numbers ...

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.
