A Quantum Random Number Generator Based on the 100-Mbit/s Poisson Photocount Statistics
2018
A quantum random number generator is experimentally realized. The initial randomness source is a sequence of photocounts from quasi-single-photon radiation detected with a SiPM (Silicon Photo Multiplier) silicon avalanche detector array. The use of a SiPM provides a reliable control of the quantum nature of the Poisson photocount statistics. A special algorithm with nonexponential complexity allows one to extract from the Poisson process all the randomness contained in it, namely, a random uniform sequence of 0 and 1.
