• Authors: Megha Shrivastava, Mohit Mittal, Isha Kumari, Venkat Abhignan,
• Abstract summary: We experimentally build a quantum random number generator from homodyne measurements on the quadrature of the vacuum fluctuations. Semi-device-independence in this random number generator is usually obtained using phase modulators to shift the phase of the laser. We characterize the experimental parameters for optimal performance of this source-device independent quantum random number generator.

• Abstract: The application for random numbers is ubiquitous. We experimentally build a well-studied quantum random number generator from homodyne measurements on the quadrature of the vacuum fluctuations. Semi-device-independence in this random number generator is usually obtained using phase modulators to shift the phase of the laser and obtain random sampling from both X and P quadrature measurements of the vacuum state in previous implementations. We characterize the experimental parameters for optimal performance of this source-device independent quantum random number generator by measuring the two quadratures concurrently using two homodyne detectors. We also study the influence of these parameters on randomness, which can be extracted based on Shannon entropy and von Neumann entropy, which correspond to an eavesdropper listening to classical and quantum side information, respectively.

  We extend the Boltzmann generator framework and introduce Sequential Boltzmann generators with two key improvements. The first is a highly efficient non-equivariant Transformer-based normalizing flow operating directly on all-atom Cartesian coordinates. We demonstrate the first equilibrium sampling in Cartesian coordinates of tri, tetra, and hexapeptides that were so far intractable for prior Boltzmann generators.

  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.

  Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) produce random numbers based on the intrinsic probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.

This device could pass NIST tests, the generation rate is 1 Mbit/s and the randomness of the output data is invariant in time.
