Researchers have recently generated random numbers in a way that could not be obtained with classical computers.

The randomness protocol can instead be used in applications where randomly generated numbers are important, such as cryptography and privacy.

Fully operational quantum computers are still a long way away, but the first successful steps toward this new way to compute things are happening now.
