Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll use the Amazon Braket quantum simulator to generate a quantum random number generator. Generating truly random numbers is an essential aspect of cryptography, and the seed generation process in a public/private key infrastructure. These random numbers can be used as the basis for further cryptographic work that easily outpaces the pseudo-random capabilities of traditional computing.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
