Investigating a Device Independence Quantum Random Number Generation

Vardaan Mongia, Abhishek Kumar, Shashi Prabhakar +2 more

Quantum random number generation (QRNG) is a resource that is a necessity in the field of cryptography. However, its certification has been challenging. In this article, we certify randomness with the aid of quantum entanglement in a device independent setting, where we choose two-photon interference for source characterisation. The CHSH inequality violation and quantum state tomography are used as independent checks on the measurement devices. These measures ensure the unpredictability of quantum random number generation. This work can be easily extended to faster randomness expansion protocols.

Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Random-Number Generator With Source Flaws

Tao Wu, Chunhui Zhang, Xingyu Zhou +2 more

The measurement-device-independent quantum random number generator (MDI-QRNG) can resist all security loopholes on measurement devices, and it thus seems very promising in practical implementations. In the MDI-QRNG, sources are often assumed to be perfectly prepared, however, there inevitably exist errors in the quantum state preparation process due to imperfections in realistic equipments and devices. In this paper, we do investigations on the MDI-QRNG with source flaws, showing its performance at different state errors. Besides, we also consider the influence of the finite-size effect, and compare the performance of different sources in MDI-QRNGs. This work provides valuable references for practical implementation of MDI-QRNGs

Numerical framework for semi-device-independent quantum random-number generators

Hongyi Zhou

Quantum random-number generation (QRNG) is one of the most widely applied branches in quantum cryptography. Among all QRNG schemes, semi-device-independent (semi-DI) QRNG is quite promising, achieving high randomness generation rates with few assumptions on the devices. For the central task of a QRNG study---security analysis---numerical approaches become popular for its generality to various semi-DI QRNG schemes. Here we formulate a numerical framework for the finite-size security of general semi-DI QRNGs, which gives a secure lower bound of the finite-size randomness generation rate against general attacks. We consider a simple example of an optical semi-DI QRNG as an application of our framework.
