• Abstract: Randomness is a critical resource of modern cryptosystems. Quantum mechanics offers the best properties of an entropy source in terms of unpredictability. However, these sources are often fragile and can fail silently. Therefore, statistical tests on their outputs should be performed continuously. Testing a sequence for randomness can be very resource-intensive, especially for longer sequences, and transferring this to other systems can put the secrecy at risk. In this paper, we present a method that allows a third party to publicly perform statistical testing without compromising the confidentiality of the random bits by connecting the quality of a public sequence to the private sequence generated using a quantum process. We implemented our protocol over two different optical systems and compared them.

  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.

  Noise in quantum information processing is often viewed as a disruptive and difficult-to-avoid feature, especially in near-term quantum technologies. We show that by taking advantage of depolarisation noise in quantum circuits for classification, a robustness bound against adversaries can be derived. This is the first quantum protocol that can be used against the most general adversaries.
