An international team of researchers, including mathematician Jonas Haferkamp from Saarland University, has discovered a new phenomenon in the world of quantum physics. States that appear completely random, without actually being so, are generated much faster than previously thought. This could significantly improve many quantum-physical applications. Due to its fundamental importance, the findings were published in the journal Science.
