Sayantan Datta, Assistant Professor of Practice, Krea-CWP has authored an article titled A random number generator using quantum physics and a blockchain published by The Hindu. While a new study isn’t the first to describe how quantum phenomena can be used in the service of generating random numbers, the technique incorporates a cryptographic tool called blockchains in their protocol. This makes the technique fully traceable and certifiable by independent parties, making it the first of its kind.
