Will quantum computing solve this issue?
- klyrs 5y agoQuantum computers cost millions of dollars, and are worse random sources than a component that costs a penny. Simply put, no, quantum computers will not solve this.
- astrange 5y agoRNGs in actually existing classical computers are already "quantum". A true classical-physics-only computer would be deterministic.
- KMag 5y agoNo, but Intel's RDSEED and friends rely on quantum electrical noise in conventional circuits to provide true randomness. (Intel uses kTC reset noise from a capacitor or pair of capacitors on the CPU core die, IIRC.)
