• Abstract: Linear-feedback shift register (LFSR) based pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) has applications in a plethora of fields. The issue of being linear is generally circumvented by introducing non-linearities as per the required applications, with some being adhoc but fulfilling the purpose while others with a theoretical proof. The goal of this study is to develop a sufficiently ``random" resource for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) applications with a low computational cost. However, as a byproduct, we have also studied the effect of introducing minimum non-linearity with experimental verification. Starting from the numerical implementation to generate a random sequence, we have implemented a XOR of two LFSR sequences on a low-cost FPGA evaluation board with one of the direct use cases in QKD protocols. Such rigorously tested random numbers could also be used like artificial neural networks or testing of circuits for integrated chips and directly for encryption for wireless technologies.

  We discuss theory on the quantum random flip-flop (QRFF), which elucidates the role of circuit imperfections that manifest themselves in bias and correlation. A novel transistor implementation of the QRFF circuit is presented, which enables compensation of the degradation in entropy inherent to the finite non-symmetric transitions of the random flip-flop. A full system containing two independent arrays of the QRFF circuit is manufactured and tested in a 55 nm Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS technology node.

  We propose to use vector-quantized long short-term memory units in the prediction network of RNN transducers.

Our experiments on the Switchboard corpus show that the proposed VQ RNN transducers improve ASR performance over transducers with regular prediction networks.
