Quantum Randomness Breaks Encryption Codes | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Computers can’t truly generate randomness—so hackers could crack your passwords or encryption keys. But physicists at ETH Zurich have cracked the code using quantum physics: they ran two imperfect quantum experiments in parallel, canceled out their biases mathematically, and proved the result is genuinely unpredictable with a Bell test. This breakthrough means unbreakable encryption is now possible without trusting the hardware—because true randomness comes from nature itself.
