ABSTRACT:
Images having specified illumination intensity distributions are used at low light levels to produce photoevents which are electronically detected to generate random numbers having probability density distributions which correspond to the specified illumination intensity distribution and at very high rates, e.g., one hundred thousand numbers per second. These random numbers are used to operate the systems which are based upon random processes such as can be expressed in Monte Carlo algorithms, for example using a Markov process, which systems include computers to carry out the random processes.
