研究目的
To introduce an efficient protocol for generating secure and fast random numbers using a source-device-independent approach based on heterodyne measurements.
研究成果
The proposed heterodyne-based QRNG protocol achieves a secure generation rate of 17.42 Gbit/s without requiring an initial source of randomness, demonstrating the feasibility of high-speed, secure random number generation in a source-device-independent framework.
研究不足
The protocol assumes a trusted detector but makes no assumptions on the source, which may limit its applicability in scenarios where the detector cannot be fully trusted. The generation rate is dependent on the resolution of the ADC used.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The protocol is based on heterodyne detection of the electromagnetic field, utilizing a POVM approach for randomness extraction.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The experiment uses a vacuum state and a coherent field from a Local Oscillator for heterodyne detection.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A narrow linewidth ECL laser at 1550 nm, variable optical attenuator, polarization controller, commercial fiber integrated '90 degree hybrid', balanced detectors, and a fast oscilloscope with 10 bits of resolution.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The LO intensity and polarization are finely controlled, and the heterodyne measurement outputs are digitized and post-processed.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data are digitally filtered and downsampled to remove correlations introduced by oversampling, with randomness extraction performed using a Toeplitz extractor.
