Gday, author here!I've wanted to hack together a "real" quantum random number generator for another upcoming project, and I got carried away a bit, and went down the 'over-engineering' cliff. So, for your nerdy enjoyment, I have documented it all up, and I added something cool for fellow "Multiple World Interpretation" followers in the Quantum Mechanics debate.This QRNG uses sexy bits: Each is the decision of a photon to go left or right after hitting a 50:50 beam splitter. Standard kinda device, where you attenuate a light source down to single photons, offer them semi-mirror to bounce off, and see which PMT detector they hit (or which universe we ended up in ;) ). Basically, Through → bit=

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
