This is an independent report exploring the critical role of randomness in quantum cryptography and foundational experiments like Bell tests. It compares Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs) and *Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs), highlighting why *true randomness matters for cryptographic security and quantum experiments.
⚡ Fun Fact: I also cold-emailed several quantum researchers and pioneers for feedback on this report.
- Difference between PRNGs & QRNGs.
- Case studies from loophole-free Bell tests, quantum key distribution systems, and more.
- Why randomness isn’t just a technical detail—it’s a security issue.
- Personal reflections on randomness in science & technology.
