A bias-free quantum random number generation using photon arrival time selectively
This provides a reliable random number source for applications like cryptography, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing quantum random number generation methods.
The paper tackles the problem of generating high-quality, bias-free quantum random numbers by using photon arrival time selectively, achieving a rate of up to 45 Mbps without additional post-processing.
We present a high-quality, bias-free quantum random number generator (QRNG) using photon arrival time selectively in accordance with the number of photon detection events within a sampling time interval in attenuated light. It is well showed in both theoretical analysis and experiments verification that this random number production method eliminates both bias and correlation perfectly without more post processing and the random number can clearly pass the standard randomness tests. We fulfill theoretical analysis and experimental verification of the method whose rate can reach up to 45Mbps.
