About RNG, does someone in the list have any comment, ideas on this
http://www.idquantique.com/products/quantis.htm
"Quantis is a physical random number generator exploiting an elementary
quantum optics process. Photons - light particles - are sent one by one
onto a semi-transparent mirror and detected. The exclusive events
(reflection - transmission) are associated to "0" - "1" bit values."
Just curious of your opinion.
Andrea
