It always makes me a little bit sad when people get excited about about fancy "quantum" things that don't use the full potential of quantum computation. With classical computing, if you plug in a widget and that widget spits out a bunch of supposedly random numbers, then you have to take it on faith that the widget isn't cheating and generating highly biased output. (For example, a deterministic cryptographic RNG is almost maximally biased, but it's computationally infeasible to tell just by examining the output.) With quantum techniques, if you are willing to plug in two devices and process…
