Quantum Secure Randomness

Definition

Quantum secure randomness refers to random numbers generated using quantum mechanical processes, offering theoretical unpredictability. This form of randomness is derived from inherent quantum properties, such as superposition or entanglement, which are fundamentally nondeterministic. Unlike pseudo-random number generators, quantum secure randomness cannot be predicted or reproduced, even with complete knowledge of the generation process. It provides the highest level of unpredictability for cryptographic applications.
