Quantum random numbers
Project description
Quantum random numbers in Python
This package brings the ANU quantum random numbers to Python 3.6+.
The default pseudo-random generator in Python is replaced by calls to the ANU API that serves real quantum random numbers.
pip install quantum-random
Just import qrandom and use it like you'd use the
standard Python random module. For example,
>>> import qrandom
>>> qrandom.random()
0.15357449726583722
>>> qrandom.sample(range(10), 2)
[6, 4]
>>> qrandom.gauss(0.0, 1.0)
-0.8370871276247828
The qrandom module exposes a class (qrandom.QuantumRandom) derived from
random.Random with a random method that outputs quantum floats in the
range [0.0, 1) (converted from 64-bit ints). Overriding random.Random.random
is sufficient to make the qrandom module behave like the random module as
described in the Python docs. A batch of 1024 quantum numbers are
fetched from the API at a time. If you wish to pre-fetch, use qrandom.fill(n),
where n is the number of 1024-batches.
To run the tests locally, you will need poetry and Python 3.6-3.9.
poetry install
poetry run tox
