Quantum computers are surprisingly random – but that's a good thing

While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true for the qubits of quantum computers, which may prove surprisingly useful

Quantum Computers Exhibit Unexpected Randomness—And That's Beneficial!

Quantum object shuffling is more complex than classic shuffling Andriy Onofriyenko/Getty Images Quantum computers are capable of generating randomness far more efficiently than previously anticipated. This remarkable discovery reveals the ongoing complexities at the intersection of quantum physics and computation. Randomness is essential for numerous computational tasks. For instance, weather simulations require multiple iterations with [...] Th…
