چکیده

In general, any observed random process includes two qualitatively different forms of randomness: apparent randomness, which results both from ignorance or lack of control of degrees of freedom in the system, and intrinsic randomness, which is not ascribable to any such cause. While classical systems only possess the first kind of randomness, quantum systems may exhibit some intrinsic randomness. In this Letter, we provide quantum processes in which all the observed randomness is fully intrinsic. These results are derived under minimal assumptions: the validity of the no-signaling principle and an arbitrary (but not absolute) lack of freedom of choice. Our results prove that quantum predictions cannot be completed already in simple finite scenarios, for instance of three parties performing two dichotomic measurements. Moreover, the observed randomness tends to a perfect random bit when increasing the number of parties, thus, defining an explicit process attaining full randomness amplification.

All entangled states can generate certified randomness

Random number has many applications, and it plays an important role in quantum information processing. It’s not difficult to generate true random numbers, the main difficulty is how to certify the random strings generated by untrusted device. In [Nature(London) 464, 1021 (2010)], the authors provided us a way to generate certified random number by Bell’s theorem, and through their method, we ca...

Toward the generation of Bell certified randomness using photons

Sources of true randomness have numerous applications, be it in algorithms, gambling or cryptography [1]. However, their unpredictability is typically difficult to certify since they may be correlated to external variables, and access to those other variable could render their behavior predictable. Therefore, there is strong motivation for developing sources of randomness that can be certified ...

Workshop on the Foundations of Randomness

The non-local correlations obtained by performing measurements on entangled quantum states certify the presence of randomness in the outputs. However, there exist non-local correlations that are (i) supra-quantum, in the sense that give an amount of non-locality higher than in quantum theory, but yet (ii) non-signalling, as they do not allow any form of communication. In the talk, we first comp...

Effect of Length-scale Parameter on Pull-in Voltage and Natural Frequency of a Micro-plate

This paper deals with the effect of the intrinsic material length-scale parameter on the stability and natural frequency of a rectangular micro-plate for two different cases; fully clamped and fully simply supported. A variational formulation based on Hamilton’s principle and the modified couple stress theory is used to obtain the nonlinear governing equation of a micro-plate incorporating the ...

Robust Randomness Amplifiers: Upper and Lower Bounds

A recent sequence of works, initially motivated by the study of the nonlocal properties of entanglement, demonstrate that a source of information-theoretically certified randomness can be constructed based only on two simple assumptions: the prior existence of a short random seed and the ability to ensure that two black-box devices do not communicate (i.e. are nonsignaling). We call protocols a...
