A 98-ion quantum computer cleans up randomness so fast that the speed of light itself foils any tampering.

A quantum computer turned a muddy trickle of bits into a spring of pure randomness. Even if the source was cheating, the system detected the fraud in 30 milliseconds. It's like an instant honesty check of a dice roll—and it works at a distance.
🎯 Previously, amplifying randomness required the source and detector to be in the same lab. This experiment did it remotely for the first time, paving the way for global quantum cryptography.
