• Abstract summary: We present a scheme for quantum random-number generation from an untrusted measurement device and a trusted source. No assumptions about noise or imperfections in the measurement are required, and the scheme is simple to implement with existing technology. We show that randomness can be certified in the presence of both Gaussian additive noise and non-Gaussian imperfections.

• Abstract: We present a scheme for quantum random-number generation from an untrusted measurement device and a trusted source and demonstrate it experimentally. No assumptions about noise or imperfections in the measurement are required, and the scheme is simple to implement with existing technology. The measurement device is probed with a few trusted states and the output entropy can be lower bounded conditioned on the observed outcome distribution. The protocol can be applied to measurements with any finite number of outcomes and in particular can be realised by homodyne measurements of the vacuum using a detector probed by coherent states, as we experimentally demonstrate by intensity modulation of a telecom-wavelength pilot laser followed by homodyne detection and discretisation by analog-to-digital conversion. We show that randomness can be certified in the presence of both Gaussian additive noise and non-Gaussian imperfections.

  A trusted device scenario assumes that an adversary has no access to imperfections such as electronic noises in the detector is expected to provide significant improvement in the key rate. Here, we develop a simple and general treatment that can incorporate the effects of Gaussian trusted noises for any protocol that uses homodyne/heterodyne measurements. In our method, a rescaling of the outcome of a noisy homodyne/heterodyne detector renders it equivalent to the outcome of a noiseless detector with a tiny additional loss.

  Bell tests are the most rigorous method for verifying entanglement in quantum networks. If there is any signaling between the parties, then the violation of Bell inequalities can no longer be used. We propose a semi-device independent protocol that allows us to numerically correct for effects of correlations in experimental probability distributions.

  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.
