• Abstract: Randomness is a central feature of quantum mechanics and an invaluable resource for both classical and quantum technologies. Commonly, in Device-Independent and Semi-Device-Independent scenarios, randomness is certified using projective measurements and the amount of certified randomness is bounded by the dimension of the measured quantum system. In this work, we propose a new Source-Device-Independent protocol, based on Positive Operator Valued Measurement (POVM), which can arbitrarily increase the number of certified bits for any fixed dimension. A tight lower-bound on the quantum conditional min-entropy is derived using only the POVM structure and the experimental expectation values, taking into account the quantum side-information. For symmetrical POVM measurements on the Bloch sphere we have derived closed-form analytical bounds. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate our method with a compact and simple photonic setup that employs polarization-encoded qubits and POVM up to 6 outcomes.

  A proof of quantumness is an efficiently verifiable interactive test that an efficient quantum computer can pass. Existing single-round protocols require large quantum circuits, whereas multi-round ones use smaller circuits but require experimentally challenging mid-circuit measurements. We construct efficient single-round proofs of quantumness based on existing knowledge assumptions.

  Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) leverage inherent, non-clonable physical randomness to generate unique input-output pairs. Quantum PUFs (QPUFs) extend this concept by using quantum states as input-output pairs. We show that random unitary QPUFs cannot achieve existential unforgeability against Quantum Polynomial Time adversaries. We introduce a second model where the QPUF functions as a nonunitary quantum channel, which guarantees existential unforgeability.

  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.
