Quantum Random Number Generation Cloud Service QuantumEntropy Launches: True Quantum Randomness for Encryption

IBM launches quantum random number generation cloud service QuantumEntropy, using quantum optical noise sources to produce certified true random numbers at 100Mbits per second.

IBM launched quantum random number generation cloud service QuantumEntropy on December 22. The service uses quantum vacuum fluctuations as a randomness source, producing quantum-mechanically certified true random numbers through photon detectors at an output rate of 100Mbits per second.

Traditional computer-generated random numbers are actually pseudo-random numbers based on deterministic algorithms that are theoretically predictable. QuantumEntropy's random numbers are based on quantum mechanics' inherent uncertainty — truly unpredictable random numbers.

IBM's quantum security lead said that as quantum computing develops, encryption schemes based on pseudo-random numbers face increasing risks. QuantumEntropy provides quantum-level random number security for high-security scenarios in finance, healthcare and government. Pricing is $5 per million API calls.
