Quantum Symmetries

To produce randomness, most computer systems — including modern cryptographic protocols and generative art — make use of pseudo-random number generators. These are designed to generate sequences of numbers that appear random over large periods, but in reality they are driven by deterministic and predictable arithmetic. In contrast, quantum randomness arises from the inherent uncertainty in quantum mechanics, particularly from phenomena like superposition and measurement collapse.
