For the first time, engineers have developed a fast random number generator based on a quantum mechanical process that could deliver the world\u2019s most secure encryption keys in a package tiny enough to use in a mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>In The Optical Society\u2019s journal for high impact research, <em>Optica<\/em>, the researchers report on their fully integrated device for random number generation.
