If only there were commercial products that did quantum random number generation. If only those products were readily available. If only those products were readily available for many years.<p>Oh wait, that already happened: <a href="https://www.idquantique.com/random-number-generation/overview/" rel="nofollow">https://www.idquantique.com/random-number-generation/overvie...</a><p>The interesting thing in this announcement is that the researchers are generating random numbers at a rate of gigabits per second, rather than megabits.
> In this new effort, the researchers looked to the quantum world to create a truly random number generator.<p>If only there was a use case. I mean, it's cool research, and they should certainly be doing this, but there is zero effect on computer security.<p>You don't need "truly random" numbers for, well, anything. That's a philosophical property, not a practical one.
