...very high level, it turns out, somewhat surprisingly, many aspects of computer science suddenly become much richer and more interesting when randomization is thrown into the picture,” said Salil Vadhan, a fellow who is also an assistant professor of computer science at Harvard. “There are some areas of computer science that can’t even get off the ground without looking at randomization; cryptography is an example. But it’s an open question whether randomization is really necessary [in other areas...
