Macquare University Photonics study shoots lasers through diamonds for quantum encryption – NEWS.com.au

Scientists are shooting lasers through diamonds, ostensibly to create random sequences to improve digital encryption but also because as if you wouldnt do the same thing when presented the chance.Shooting a laser through a diamond produces a “random polarisation state”, making truly random patterns that are impossible to predict.
Randomness is a surprisingly key ingredient in computing and technology, especially in the field of cryptography.
