Random number gerator on a d-wave system

  Yes, the D-Wave can generate some very fine random numbers. I wrote a program that explores this concept with a coin-flipping simulator. The code pulls truly random values from the D-Wave.

  https://github.com/ridgebacknet/dwave-tutorials/blob/master/fun/fun-coin.py

  The code shows how to access the D-Wave, generate random values, display that as a distribution, and also pull out some timing metrics.

  Let me know if this helps.

  hey tom,

   

  thanks for your prompt answer. just by curiosity, how much runtime does your script run on a d-wave?

  To be more specific, I would like a script that generates exactly 80 random bits (80 coin flips).

  I need those bits to generate sentences for my divination program, would like to have your personal mail so that you help me to create this short script.

   

  thanks again,

  philippe

  Hi Philippe,

  You can generate over 2000 random bits in a single call to the D-Wave. I recommend reading through the code I linked; I wrote the code as a programming tutorial. If you are brand new to the D-Wave, there are many videos, tutorials, etc. on how to get started: https://cloud.dwavesys.com/leap/resources/learning-docs

  Hi Thomas P, 

  thank you for sharing your coin flip script. i managed to run it (still can't believe it), and indeed it was fun!!! :-)
