Scientists have created the world's first nanophotonic electron accelerator, which speeds negatively charged particles with mini laser pulses and is small enough to fit on a coin.
Honestly you won’t be able to build a device with this thing in it for cheaper than alternatives. For home usage it’s about 50-100$. And a good enough PCI card like Quantis will be 3000$ with a bandwidth of 240Mbps.
And that’s not even discussing bandwidth. In most cases bandwidth (number of random bits generated per second) is the limiting factor in usage. You want them to be fast enough that when you need a number you’re not waiting for it.

Yes. It isn’t hard to generate random numbers in hardware. It is hard to generate them very fast. This device would not help solve that problem.
