Abstract
Devices and systems operable to generate random numbers are disclosed and described. Such include an array of phase change material cells electrically coupled to circuitry configured to initially set all cells in the array to a high state, send a programming pulse through the array having a current sufficient to randomly set each cell to either the high state or a low state to generate a random distribution of cell states across the array, and to read the random distribution of cell states out of the array.
