• Title: Certified Randomness From Steering Using Sequential Measurements
• Authors: Brian Coyle, Elham Kashefi and Matty Hoban
• Abstract summary: A single entangled two-qubit pure state can be used to produce arbitrary amounts of certified randomness. Motivated by these difficulties in the device-independent setting, we consider the scenario of one-sided device independence. We show how certain aspects of previous work can be adapted to this scenario and provide theoretical bounds on the amount of randomness which can be certified.

• Abstract: The generation of certifiable randomness is one of the most promising applications of quantum technologies. Furthermore, the intrinsic non-locality of quantum correlations allow us to certify randomness in a device-independent way, i.e. one need not make assumptions about the devices used. Due to the work of Curchod et. al., a single entangled two-qubit pure state can be used to produce arbitrary amounts of certified randomness. However, the obtaining of this randomness is experimentally challenging as it requires a large number of measurements, both projective and general. Motivated by these difficulties in the device-independent setting, we instead consider the scenario of one-sided device independence where certain devices are trusted, and others not; a scenario motivated by asymmetric experimental set-ups such as ion-photon networks. We show how certain aspects of previous work can be adapted to this scenario and provide theoretical bounds on the amount of randomness which can be certified. Furthermore, we give a protocol for unbounded randomness certification in this scenario, and provide numerical results demonstrating the protocol in the ideal case. Finally, we numerically test the possibility of implementing this scheme on near-term quantum technologies, by considering the performance of the protocol on several physical platforms.

  Generative models lack rigorous statistical guarantees for their outputs. We propose a sequential conformal prediction method producing prediction sets that satisfy a rigorous statistical guarantee. This guarantee states that with high probability, the prediction sets contain at least one admissible (or valid) example.

  Device Independent (DI) and Semi-Device Independent (semi-DI) protocols of randomness expansion are discussed. We introduce enhanced DI and semi-DI protocols that surpass existing ones in terms of output randomness rate, security, or in some instances, both. A notable contribution is the introduction of randomness expansion protocols that recycle input randomness, significantly enhancing finite round randomness rates for DI protocols based on the CHSH inequality violation.

• Certification of unbounded randomness without nonlocality [0.0]
  We provide a scheme to certify unbounded randomness in a semi-device-independent way based on the maximal violation of Leggett-Garg inequalities. The scheme is independent of the choice of the quantum state, and consequently even "quantum" noise could be utilized to self-test quantum measurements.

  We introduce the qDrift protocol, which builds random product formulas by sampling from the Hamiltonian according to the coefficients. We show that the simulation cost can be reduced while achieving the same accuracy, by considering the individual simulation cost during the sampling stage. Results are confirmed by numerical simulations performed on a lattice nuclear effective field theory.

  We use a toy fiber optic based setup to generate binary series, and evaluate their level of randomness according to Ville principle. Series are tested with a battery of standard statistical indicators, Hurst, Kolmogorov complexity, minimum entropy, Takensarity dimension of embedding, and Augmented Dickey Fuller and Kwiatkowski Phillips Schmidt Shin to check station exponent. The level of randomness of series obtained by applying Toeplitz extractor to rejected series is found to be indistinguishable from the level of non-rejected raw ones.

  Certified randomness protocols have been developed which remove the need for trust in devices by taking advantage of nonlocality. Here, we use a photonic platform to implement our protocol, which operates in the quantum steering scenario. We demonstrate an approach for a steering-based generator of public or private randomness, and the first generation of certified random bits, with the detection loophole closed.

  We present a novel planning method that does not rely on any explicit representation of the noise distributions. First, we abstract the continuous system into a discrete-state model that captures noise by probabilistic transitions between states. We capture these bounds in the transition probability intervals of a so-called interval Markov decision process (iMDP)
