Quantum Random Number Generator

A Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) uses the principles of quantum mechanics to produce randomness. In quantum systems, particles like photons or electrons behave unpredictably when measured, due to inherent quantum uncertainty. By detecting these random quantum events—such as the path a photon takes or its polarization—the device generates truly random numbers. Unlike classical methods, which rely on algorithms or predictable processes, QRNGs leverage fundamental physical uncertainty, ensuring high-quality randomness essential for secure communications, cryptography, and scientific simulations.
