Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.

Transformations are the key to such codes, and they rely on math that predates computing as we know it by centuries. There ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

After 80 years of fruitless struggle by human mathematicians, a major geometry conjecture has at last been solved—via a straightforward query to a chatbot. “No previous AI-generated proof has come ...

Even the most modern random number generators do not produce perfectly random numbers, which can be a problem for cryptographic applications. ETH Zurich researchers use entangled superconducting ...

Excel's randomization functions generate values, shuffle datasets, and simulate timelines using simple formulas.

A man racially abused, assaulted and threatened to rape police, threatened to stab shop workers in the neck, and hit a man in a pub over the head with a hammer in a three-month period. Cardiff Crown ...
