Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Alireza Marandi, Nick C. Leindecker, Konstantin L. Vodopyanov, Robert L. Byer, | Summary: True random number generators (RNGs) are desirable for applications ranging from cryptogra- phy to computer simulations. Quantum phenomena prove to be attractive for physical RNGs due to their fundamental randomness and immunity to attack […]

GRB beaming and gravitational-wave observations

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz | First 5 Authors: Hsin-Yu Chen, Daniel E. Holz, , , | Summary: Using the observed rate of short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) it is possible to make predictions for the detectable rate of compact binary coalescences in gravitational-wave detectors. These estimates rely crucially on the growing consensus that short gamma-ray bursts […]
