    Quantum non-locality can improve the quality of sources of randomness.

    Bell’s equations enable scientists to test the fundamental implications of quantum physics. A central tenet of this idea is that the choice of measurement is truly random. Researchers now show that some Bell experiments can even increase randomness in cases where choice is not entirely free. The concept could increase the usefulness of weakly random sources for more thorough tests of quantum mechanics.
