Ultrafast quantum random number generator Authors: Marcos Curty, Valerio Pruneri, Morgan Mitchell and Marc Jofre

Summary of the technology

UVIGO and ICFO have jointly developed a novel system for the random generation of numbers exploiting an elementary quantum optics process. This physical random number generator is based on the quantum random phase noise of a single-mode laser, which is transformed in random amplitude pulses and subsequently detected using a fast photodiode.

Innovative aspects and advantages in comparison with current random number generators:

• Generation of numbers at a very high bit rate in the order of Gb/s.

•.Creates truly-random numbers

• Decrease the coherence time

• Avoids the use of phase modulators.
