Von Neumann Normalisation of a Quantum Random Number Generator
In this paper we study von Neumann un-biasing normalisation for ideal and real quantum random number generators, operating on finite strings or infinite bit sequences. In the ideal cases one can obtain the desired un-biasing. This relies critically on the independence of the source, a notion we rigorously define for our model. In real cases, affected by imperfections in measurement and hardware...
متن کاملVon Neumann Normalisation and Symptoms of Randomness: An Application to Sequences of Quantum Random Bits
Due to imperfections in measurement and hardware, the flow of bits generated by a quantum random number generator (QRNG) contains bias and correlation, two symptoms of non-randomness. There is no algorithmic method to eliminate correlation as this amounts to guaranteeing incomputability. However, bias can be mitigated: QRNGs use normalisation techniques such as von Neumann’s method—the first an...
متن کاملOptical Quantum Random Number Generator
A physical random number generator based on the intrinsic randomness of quantum mechanics is described. The random events are realized by the choice of single photons between the two outputs of a beamsplitter. We present a simple device, which minimizes the impact of the photon counters’ noise, dead-time and after pulses. Random numbers are employed today as well for numerical simulations as fo...
متن کاملA self-testing quantum random number generator
The generation of random numbers is a task of paramount importance in modern science. A central problem for both classical and quantum randomness generation is to estimate the entropy of the data generated by a given device. Here we present a protocol for self-testing quantum random number generation, in which the user can monitor the entropy in real-time. Based on a few general assumptions, ou...
متن کاملQuantum Statistical Testing of a Quantum Random Number Generator
The unobservable elements in a quantum technology, e.g., the quantum state, complicate system verification against promised behavior. Using model-based system engineering, we present methods for verifying the operation of a prototypical quantum random number generator. We begin with the algorithmic design of the QRNG followed by the synthesis of its physical design requirements. We next discuss...
