Quantum random numbers.
Most random numbers aren’t truly random. However, using quantum computers can achieve levels of randomness only limited by the basic laws of quantum physics. Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have built the fastest known real-time quantum random number generator by combining state-of-the-art photonic integration with advanced post-processing technologies.
Their machine is described in Applied Physics Letters: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0056027

18.8 Gbps real-time quantum random number generator with a photonic integrated chip
Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) can produce true random numbers. Yet, the two most important QRNG parameters highly desired for practical applications, i.e., speed and size, have to be com...
