| contents | The fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, such as its probabilistic nature, allow for the theoretical ability of quantum computers to generate statistically random numbers, as opposed to classical computers which are only able to generate pseudo-random numbers. This ability of quantum computers has a variety of applications, one of which provides the basis for a method of efficacy testing Quantum Computers themselves. We introduce this testing method and utilize it to investigate the efficacy of nine IBM Quantum Computer systems. The testing method utilized four different quantum random number generator algorithms and a battery of eighteen statistical tests. Only a single quantum computer-algorithm combination was found to be statistically random, demonstrating the power of the testing method as well as indicating that further work is needed for these computers to reach their theoretical potential. |
