Macquare University Photonics study shoots lasers through diamonds for quantum encryption
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.
