Apparently, it is as hard (or harder) to produce random qubits as random bits. There are some sentences in this article that don't make sense so I am guessing the author doesn't really understand the subject.

"The idea is to randomize a specific configuration of qubits containing the message, and then transmit this randomized state," he said...The researchers tested the method on a three-qubit prototype liquid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum computer. -Michael Heyman --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
