Abstract

In reply to the physicsworld.com news story "How to make a quantum random-number generator from a mobile phone" (16 May, http://ow.ly/xFiYc, see also p5), which describes a way of delivering random numbers by counting the number of photons that impinge on each of the individual pixels in the camera of a Nokia N9 smartphone.
