Recent advances in next‐generation sequencing (NGS) such as targeted or non-targeted whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and computational analyses that can efficiently process large amounts of data have ...

With an advance that one cryptography expert called a "masterpiece," University of Texas at Austin computer scientists have developed a new method for producing truly random numbers, a breakthrough ...

Create an rng object with np.random.default_rng(), you can seed it for reproducible results. You can draw samples from probability distributions, including from the binomial and normal distributions.

Stein's method has emerged as a critical framework in the study of distributional approximations, providing quantitative bounds between probability distributions through the formulation and solution ...

The new NIST method generates digital bits (1s and 0s) with photons, or particles of light, using data generated in an improved version of a landmark 2015 NIST physics experiment. That experiment ...

Researchers have developed a method for generating numbers guaranteed to be random, through the use of quantum mechanics. The experimental technique surpasses all previous methods for ensuring the ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and CU Boulder have developed a method for generating numbers guaranteed to be random by quantum mechanics. Described in the ...

Whether it’s a game of D&D or encrypting top-secret information, a wide array of methods are available for generating the needed random numbers with high enough entropy for their use case. For a ...
