• Abstract: In the study of quantum random number generators (QRNGs), the problem of random signal digitization is often not considered in detail. However, in the context of a standalone QRNG device, this issue is very important. In this paper, we consider the problem of digitizing laser pulses with random intensity and analyze various approaches used to estimate the contribution of classical noise. A simple method for determining the quantum reduction factor suitable for digitization with an analog-to-digital converter is proposed.

  Quantum random number generator (QRNG) utilizes the intrinsic randomness of quantum systems to generate genuine random numbers. Traditional phase noise QRNGs suffer from a 50% loss of quantum entropy during the randomness extraction process. We propose a phase-reconstruction quantum random number generation scheme, in which the phase noise of a laser is reconstructed by simultaneously measuring the quadratures of the light field.

In this paper, we design and fabricate an embedded QRNG that produces random numbers based on fluctuations of spontaneous emission and absorption in a LED. This device could pass NIST tests, the generation rate is 1 Mbit/s and the randomness of the output data is invariant in time.

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.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
