Recent progress in random number generator using voltage pulse-induced switching of nano-magnet: A perspective

Voltage-induced switching with magnetoresistance signature in magnetic nano-filaments.

Large hysteretic resistance changes are reported on sub-100 nm diameter metallic nanowires including thin dielectric junctions. Bi-stable 50% switching in a double junction geometry is modeled in terms of an occupation-driven metal-insulator transition in one of the two junctions, using the generalized Poisson expressions of Oka and Nagaosa (2005 Phys. Rev. Lett. 95 266403). It illustrates how ...

A Perfect Random Number Generator

Recursive Random Number Generator Using Prime Reciprocals

illustration, the prime reciprocal of 1/7 is , and the prime reciprocal sequence is considered to be 142857. The period of this sequence is 6. Since the maximum length of the period can be (p-1), this is an example of a maximum-length d-sequence. But a prime reciprocal sequence that is maximum length in one base need not be maximum length in another base. Thus the binary prime reciprocal sequen...

"Cracking" a Random Number Generator

[Editor’s Note: This paper was original printed in the January 1977, Volume I, Number 1, issue of Cryptologia (pp. 20-26) the premier issue. Over the years this one article has drawn more interest than any other article and requests for reprints of the paper come in year after year. The editors thought it appropriate to offer this paper to our readers. The original paper was set using WordStar ...

Random Number Generator Recommendation

The generation of uniform pseudo-random numbers between 0 and 1 is important in many numerical simulations. The purpose of this report is to explore the best generator(s) of such random numbers in terms of statistical properties and speed. While attempting to find the best generator in general, the specific goal of this report is to find the best generator for Latin hypercube sampling [Iman and...
