Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG)

Description

This project implements a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) using Qiskit. It leverages the principles of quantum mechanics, specifically superposition, to generate truly random numbers. Unlike classical pseudo-random number generators that rely on deterministic algorithms, QRNGs produce numbers that are fundamentally unpredictable.

Setup

  1. Install Python: Make sure you have Python 3.6 or later installed.

  2. Install Qiskit: Open your terminal or command prompt and install the Qiskit library:

    bash pip install qiskit

How to Run

  1. Navigate to this directory in your terminal.

  2. Run the qrng.py script with a command-line argument specifying the number of bits for the random number. For example, to generate an 8-bit random number:

    bash python qrng.py 8

    If you don't provide an argument, it will default to generating a 4-bit random number.
