Researchers Develop Perfect Quantum Randomness Generator
Scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich have developed a method for creating mathematically flawless randomness. This technology addresses vulnerabilities in digital systems and cryptography. Modern random number generators often make systematic errors. In cryptography, even the slightest deviation can become a loophole for hacking. The team led by Renato Renner and Andreas Wallraff discovered a way to transform "weak" randomness into completely reliable sequences. For the experiment, the scientists used two superconducting qubits connected by a 30-meter vacuum cable. Chips cooled to near absolute zero provided quantum entanglement. The 30-meter distance ensured no information exchange between particles, even at the speed of light. The essence of the method lies in "randomness amplification." The researchers combined imperfect input data with quantum measurement results and a special algorithm. The result was a sequence of numbers whose randomness can be mathematically verified. The quality of data protection directly depends on the reliability of the random number generator: the higher the randomness, the harder it is to breach the system. The authors compared the result to creating atomic clocks for the data world. In the future, the technology could enhance the security of blockchains, lotteries, and quantum encryption systems. Earlier in May, Australian researchers developed a nanoscale photonic circuit that integrates the generation, routing, and reading of light signals on a single chip.

Cryptocurrency Funds Increase Influence on U.S. Elections
The crypto industry is ramping up its influence on American politics ahead of the Congressional elections. Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been directed to support favorable candidates, with the balance increasingly shifting towards Republicans, writes CoinDesk. The main player is Fairshake. The committee and its affiliated entities are actively involved in the primaries. In Texas, the organization invested $6.5 million in the campaign of Christian Menefee, who defeated Congressman Al Green, known for his criticism of the crypto industry. Other Republicans in the Texas House of Representatives also received support: Alex Miller, Tom Selle, Carlos De La Cruz, and John Bonk. The spending on their campaigns ranged from $348,000 to $607,000. The Fellowship committee, associated with Tether and Cantor Fitzgerald, plays a separate role. It directed $500,000 to support Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his bid for a Senate seat. In the Republican primary, Paxton defeated John Cornyn. Not long ago, the industry aimed to maintain a bipartisan balance. Fairshake operated through Protect Progress and Defend American Jobs structures—for Democrats and Republicans, respectively. By 2026, the focus is shifting to the right. Among other centers of influence are the Digital Freedom Fund of the Winklevoss brothers with $21 million in capital and the Blockchain Leadership Fund, supported by Anchorage Digital and Chainlink, which positions itself as more moderate and formally bipartisan. The Sentinel Action Fund, backed by the Solana Policy Institute and Multicoin Capital, initially announced a campaign against former Senator Sherrod Brown, then directed nearly $900,000 to support Republican Mike Rogers in the Senate race in Michigan. According to Follow the Crypto, industry-related companies and investors have already invested over $320 million in the 2026 election cycle. The reserves of specialized committees exceed $245 million. In the 2024 elections, over 20% of respondents surveyed in several states considered cryptocurrency a key issue.
Scientists Develop Full-Cycle Photonic Chip for Quantum Systems
A team from Monash University in Australia has developed a nanoscale photonic circuit that integrates the generation, routing, and reading of light signals on a single chip. The device is constructed using ultrathin materials just a few atoms thick. Engineers have integrated these with specially designed nanostructures (metasurfaces), allowing them to control light at the level of individual quantum states. Illustration of the photonic chip. Source: monash.edu. The key distinction is its operation at room temperature. Most quantum platforms still require cryogenic cooling. The development is related to valleytronics, a field where the valley degree of freedom of electrons in a crystal is used for data encoding. This quantum property enables the formation of stable optical signals that can be directed and converted into an electrical response. According to the researchers, the team has, for the first time, managed to assemble a complete cycle in a compact photonic circuit: from generating 'valley' signals to processing and reading them. Previously, such elements existed separately. As a demonstration, the chip simultaneously encoded and processed two different images, showcasing the ability to work with multiple data streams in parallel. Scientists view the technology as a potential foundation for scalable quantum computers, energy-efficient AI systems, and high-speed optical communications. In May, Oracle and Classiq simulated a 36-qubit quantum circuit in the cloud.
