I understand that most computer systems use the system clock to
generate random numbers and that it's not really terribly good at
being random, but can you explain the above reference to using a
quantum source in more detail?
I have a layman's cursory knowledge of quantum physics soI think I
know where you're going with it, but I'd be interested in hearing it
explained.
