18.8 Gbps real-time quantum random number generator with a photonic integrated chip

Bing Bai, Jianyao Huang, Guan-Ru Qiao +5 more

Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) can produce true random numbers. Yet, the two most important QRNG parameters highly desired for practical applications, i.e., speed and size, have to be compromised during implementations. Here, we present the fastest and miniaturized QRNG with a record real-time output rate as high as 18.8 Gbps by combining a photonic integrated chip and the technology of optimized randomness extraction. We assemble the photonic integrated circuit designed for vacuum state QRNG implementation, an InGaAs homodyne detector, and a high-bandwidth transimpedance amplifier into a single chip using hybrid packaging, which exhibits the excellent characteristics of integration and high-frequency response. With a sample rate of 2.5 GSa/s in a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter and subsequent paralleled postprocessing in a field programmable gate array, the QRNG outputs ultrafast random bitstreams via a fiber optic transceiver, whose real-time speed is validated in a personal computer.

Self-Testing Quantum Randomness Expansion on an Integrated Photonic Chip

The power of quantum random number generation is more than just the ability to create truly random numbers—it can also enable , which allows the user to verify the implementation integrity of critical quantum components with minimal assumptions. In this work, we develop and implement a self-testing quantum random number generator (QRNG) chipset capable of generating 15.33 Mbits of certifiable randomness in each run, producing an expansion rate of 5.11 × 10 − 4 at a repetition rate of 10 MHz, with quantum side information considered for a high level of security. The chip design is based on a highly loss-and-noise-tolerant measurement-device-independent protocol, where random coherent states encoded using quadrature phase shift keying are used to self-test the integrated homodyne detectors—well-known to be challenging to characterize in practice. Importantly, this proposal opens up the possibility of implementing miniaturized self-testing QRNG devices at production scale using standard silicon photonics foundry platforms.

Performance Analysis and Optimization for Laser-Phase-Noise based Quantum Random Number Generation

Jinlu Liu, Jie Yang, Yu Gao +8 more

The quantum random number generation based on laser phase noise, which is featured with high random number generation rate and ease for photonic integration, has been extensively investigated and demonstrated. Despite these advancements, a theoretical model to achieve optimal performance in terms of maximizing the random number generation rate is still incomplete. In this work, a comprehensive physical model for this scheme is introduced to accurately predict the power spectrum of entropy source and probability distribution of raw data, based on which the entropy source bandwidth and extractable randomness can be accordingly estimated and thus the system performance can be quantitatively evaluated and optimized. The model is sufficiently validated through both simulation and experiment with significant agreement under various typical setups. Furthermore, our proposal enables the proactive design of experimental parameters to achieve optimal system performance, which is crucial for the design and practical implementation of photonics integrated quantum random number generations.
