A high speed, postprocessing free, quantum random number generator

J. F. Dynes, Z. L. Yuan, A. W. Sharpe, and A. J. Shields
A quantum random number generator (QRNG) based on gated single photon detection of an InGaAs photodiode at gigahertz frequency is demonstrated. Owing to the extremely long coherence time of each photon, each photons' wave function extends over many gating cycles of the photodiode. The collapse of th ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 93, 031109 (2008)] published Wed Jul 23, 2008.
