A photograph of the developed prototype. The system is designed such that the spintronic probabilistic bit comprising a stochastic magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) [left] generates a physical random number that drives the pseudo random number generators programmed in the CMOS circuit, or the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) [right].
