Comment on A quantum neural network can see optical illusions like humans do. Could it be the future of AI?

  He’s a bit vague on the details, but I believe he’s using a laser:

  To create a more realistic model of quantum dynamics, I employ a physical generator of random numbers based on coherent quantum-optical processes (the emission of coherent light can be associated with the effect of QT). Unlike a pseudo-random generator, a quantum generator produces truly random numbers. This ensures that the software model of QT-DNN is not biased toward one of the possible perceptual states of optical illusions.

    Still sounds like random.org to me, but with fricken lasers instead of atmospheric noise.

    RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive online games, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland.
