• Abstract: How much cryptographically-secure randomness can be extracted from a quantum state? This fundamental question probes the absolute limits of quantum random number generation (QRNG) and yet, despite the technological maturity of QRNGs, it remains unsolved. In this work we consider a general adversarial model that allows for an adversary who has quantum side-information about both the source and the measurement device. Using links between randomness extraction rates and sandwiched R\'enyi entropies, we provide compact, easy to compute, achievable rates of secure randomness extraction from quantum states. In turn, this provides a simple to evaluate benchmarking tool for the randomness generation rates of QRNG protocols.

  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.

  We use a toy fiber optic based setup to generate binary series, and evaluate their level of randomness according to Ville principle. 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.

  We show how to predict and experimentally observe the emergence of random state ensembles naturally under time-independent Hamiltonian dynamics. The observed random ensembles emerge from projective measurements and are intimately linked to universal correlations built up between subsystems of a larger quantum system. Our work has implications for understanding randomness in quantum dynamics, and enables applications of this concept in a wider context.
