Quantum Dice launches the new generation of APEX, the world’s fastest Quantum Random Number Generator enabling trusted cybersecurity for enterprise applications

Showcased at Inside Quantum Technology, New York (October 24-26), Booth #110, the latest generation of APEX generates verifiably true random numbers at a world-leading multi-Gbps rate.


Oxford, United Kingdom – 24 October 2023
Quantum Dice, an award-winning, venture-backed spinout from Oxford University’s world-renowned quantum optics lab, today announced the latest generation of its APEX quantum random number generator (QRNG). 

Ideally suited for cybersecurity applications in data centres, telecommunications hubs, and other enterprise applications, the APEX QRNG is the world’s fastest, with a 7.5 Gbps rate of post-processed random numbers. 

As well as raising the bar for speed, the new generation of the APEX device is easily integrated into existing infrastructure and uniquely combined with best-in-class security features. A fundamental challenge in QRNG development is the generation of verifiably trusted encryption keys while also delivering a high generation rate. Quantum Dice’s solution addresses both challenges simultaneously, offering a QRNG that ensures high-quality entropy at world-leading generation rates, while withstanding environmental noise.

The new APEX product combines market-leading performance with its patented source-device independent self-certification (DISC™) protocol, which performs a continuous entropy evaluation on each key providing live quantum assurance, even in the presence of environmental disturbances. 

The product is an exciting new addition to Quantum Dice’s existing DISC QRNG line-up. Key features include:

  • Ultra-fast key generation: World-leading generation rate of 7.5 Gbps
  • Ultimate security: DISC™ protocol provides continuous entropy verification
  • Easy integration: With its standard form factor, the new APEX offers seamless integration across a range of use cases.

CEO and Co-founder, Dr. Ramy Shelbaya, said: “I am incredibly proud of our team’s achievement in creating the latest generation of APEX. The exponential increase in communication channels over the last few decades as well as specific trends such as the rapid expansion of data centres and the advent of novel encryption and secure communications methods, have placed ever more strenuous demands on our ability to provide the supply of entropy that is required for trusted cybersecurity. With its unparalleled speed, combined with the security assurance of our DISC™ protocol, the new APEX is a game-changer, making robust security accessible to a broader spectrum of users than ever before.”


A Gold sponsor, Quantum Dice is unveiling its new product at Booth #110 at IQT New York.
