“Random” noise pours cold water on room-temperature superconductivity Room-temperature superconductivity has unphysical noise, makes claim dubious.

Quantum physics can be exploited to generate true random numbers, which have important roles in many applications, especially in cryptography. Genuine randomness from the measurement of a quantum ...

Here we provide an error-tolerant protocol using a finite number of devices for amplifying arbitrary weak randomness into nearly perfect random bits, which are secure against a no-signalling ...
