Quantum random number generator based on spin noise
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an implementation of a robust quantum random number generator based on the quantum fluctuations of the collective spin of an alkali-metal vapor. The achieved bit rate is limited by the spin relaxation rate of the alkali-metal atoms 1 /T2 to about 1 kbit/s. However, the same physical scheme, which is impervious to limitations posed by single-photon detectors used in current implementations and rests solely on threshold detection, can be extended to solid state systems with a bit rate higher than 1 Gbit/s.

متن کاملQuantum random number generator based on homodyne detection
The need to generate random numbers arises in many scientific and engineering disciplines. There are many types of random number generators with different entropy sources. Historically, two approaches for random number generation have been developed. According to the first method, random numbers can be generated algorithmically, but the resulting sequences in that case are pseudorandom and not ...

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...
