• Abstract: Measurement outcomes on quantum systems exhibit inherent randomness and are fundamentally nondeterministic. This has enabled quantum physics to set new standards for the generation of true randomness with significant applications in the fields of cryptography, statistical simulations, and modeling of the nondeterministic behavior in various other fields. In this work, we present a scheme for the generation of multi-bit random numbers using path-entangled single photons. Without losing their intrinsic randomness, the protocol allows us to engineer the distribution from which we sample random numbers. For the experimental demonstration, we use single photons generated using spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), and assign a multi-bit commitment along the path. One-bit and two-bit random numbers are then generated from measuring entangled states in the path basis. In addition to passing the NIST tests for randomness, we also demonstrate the certification of quantumness and self-certification of quantum random number generator (QRNG) using Clauser, Horne, Shimony and Holt (CHSH) inequality violation. The path-entangled states can generate higher bitrates compared to heralded single photon or entangled photon schemes which are limited by the coincidence counts. The scheme involves distribution of photons along multiple paths resulting in multiple bits from one photon and avoids the limitation imposed by the detection dead time of one detector. We demonstrate this by generating a high rate of about 80 Mbps when the single photon detector saturates at around 28 Mcps.

  We introduce a quantum hardness assumption called the Hamiltonian Phase State (HPS) problem. We show that our assumption is plausibly fully quantum; meaning, it cannot be used to construct one-way functions. We show that our assumption and its variants allow us to efficiently construct many pseudorandom quantum primitives.

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.
