Replacing the QPU with /dev/urandom
Summary
This GitHub README patches a cryptographic experiment to replace the IBM Quantum backend with /dev/urandom. It demonstrates that uniform random sampling can mimic claimed quantum results for ECDLP key recovery, undermining the claim of quantum hardware achieving the task and offering a hardware-free reproduction. The piece emphasizes the need to verify cryptanalytic claims in quantum cryptography and shows how reproducibility can reveal classical explanations.
