Outshift Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG)
Why Quantum Randomness?
From scientific research to cryptography, its quality directly impacts the precision of simulations, the strength of encryption, and the fairness of outcomes, ensuring optimal performance across diverse applications. Using randomness derived from quantum mechanics ensures that it’s completely unpredictable, making it virtually impossible to replicate or hack. Outshift’s Quantum RNG (QRNG), leverages the inherent unpredictability of quantum mechanics to generate truly random numbers eliminating any chance of pattern prediction for:
Security & Cryptography:
Stronger encryption keys and authentication tokens
Financial Modeling:
More accurate Monte Carlo simulations and risk analysis
Gaming & Lottery:
Provably fair and unpredictable outcomes
Blockchain & Web3:
Secure smart contracts and consensus mechanisms
AI & Machine Learning:
Enhanced stochastic training processes
Academic & Scientific Research:
Quantum simulations, genetic algorithms, and statistical modeling rely on high-entropy randomness.
True randomness powered by Outshift's QRNG
Here's how it works:
- 1. Capturing the chaos of quantum noiseWe use precision tools like homodyne detectors to capture quantum vacuum noise. These sensitive devices convert the microscopic energy fluctuations into measurable signals, setting the stage for randomness generation.
- 2. Converting quantum noise into true randomnessThe raw signals captured contain both true quantum randomness and some classical (predictable) noise. That's where our SoC, a powerful system-on-a-chip platform, comes in. It processes the data, and with advanced algorithms, extracts the pure quantum randomness.
- 3. Validating every number for true randomnessTo confirm the results, we rigorously test our random numbers against demanding standards like the NIST Randomness Test Suite. These tests verify that what we produce isn't just random by appearance, but mathematically and scientifically validated as unpredictable.
