A post-processing free Si nanocrystals based quantum random number generator

摘要: The generation of random numbers is, nowadays, increasing importance. From economics to security and science, a number applications require large amount generated with negligible correlation. Several (pseudo-)Random Number Generators (RNGs) are based on deterministic approaches that, in case successful cryptographic attack, subject critical failure. A more secure source randomness exploits quantum effects where the intrinsic uncertainty measured process renders truly random.
