Generating random number of the one of the most important goals of computer scientist because of its wide range of applications such as scientific simulations, lotteries, physics tests and of course CRYPTOGRAPHY. QRNGs use quantum mechanical effects to generate random numbers and have applications that range from simulation to cryptography. QRNGs are also used for quantum protocols such as BB84 Quantum Key Distribution and device independent quantum internet protocols. Random number are generated by classic computers are not secure enough even generating randomly. Because of this reason we need to generate quantum random numbers. | Generating random number of the one of the most important goals of computer scientist because of its wide range of applications such as scientific simulations, lotteries, physics tests and of course CRYPTOGRAPHY.

In a similar vein, it is only possible to extract uniform, private randomness by combining multiple weak sources together classically. Randomness amplification enables the extraction of such randomness from only a single weak source - useful in any situation where only some randomness has been provided but absolute security is required. | In a similar vein, it is only possible to extract uniform, private randomness by combining multiple weak sources together classically.
