These are my go-to libraries for Python data crunching.

Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can. By Alexander Nazaryan Researchers in Switzerland ...

While Excel is ubiquitous, I prefer Python for my data analysis. Spreadsheets are great for formatting data, but it's Python that's allowed me to build my own super calculator out of regular Python ...

We've all been in a D&D session where the party has barrelled off the main path and into a cave or mine or crypt, despite the dungeon master's unsubtle hints that they've got absolutely nothing ...

Abstract: In this letter, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a high-speed true random number generator (TRNG) by exploiting the probabilistic delay time of threshold switching (TS) in a unified ...

You might be familiar with how Python and C can work together, by way of projects like Cython. The new PythoC project has a unique twist on working with both languages: it lets you write ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...

Researchers have developed a chip-based quantum random number generator that provides high-speed, high-quality operation on a miniaturized platform. This advance could help move quantum random number ...
