Quantum Computing for Business
Shot noise is a type of electronic noise that occurs due to the discrete nature of electric charge, arising from the random arrival of individual charge carriers, such as electrons, at a detector. This randomness leads to fluctuations in the current and can significantly impact measurements in quantum systems. In quantum random number generation, shot noise is a crucial factor as it introduces inherent unpredictability, contributing to the true randomness needed for generating secure random numbers.
congrats on reading the definition of Shot Noise. now let's actually learn it.
