A PHYSICAL QUANTUM RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR BASED ON SPLITTING A BEAM OF PHOTONS
R. О. Gavrylko, Yuriy Gorbenko
Random numbers are very widespread. They are important component in many areas of application, starting with computing methods and programming, ending with the big field of cryptography. The wide range of fields, where random numbers are used, lead to development of different random number generators, and also some methods for checking their output data for randomness. One of these generators is quantum random number generator. The goal of this paper is description of quantum random number generation principles and justification of its advantages and disadvantages corresponding correlation functions and with the values for commonly used classes of discrete signals is held. Estimates of the ensemble properties of the signal class under study are given.
