(Figure is from ID Quantique) Photon arrival time [2-3] or photon number counting [4] Single Photon Source t APD Even odd Time [1] T. Jennewein, et al, Rev. of Sci. Ins., 71: , [2] P. Kwiat, E. Jeffrey, P. Altepeter, US Patent Appl , [3] J. Dynes, et al, App. Phy. Lett., 93, (2008) [4] M. Furst, et, al, Opt. Exp. 18, (2010). Fully integrated QRNG. (Figure is from ref [4]) 5
6 QRNG: vacuum state fluctuations [1-2] Homodyne detection measuring the electrical field fluctuations of Vacuum state. [1] A. Trifonov and H. Vig, US Patent No. 7,284,024, 16 October 2007 [2] C. Gabriel, et al, Nature Photonics, 4, (2010) QRNG with 6.5 Mb/s [2]. (Figure is from ref [2]) 6
7 Motivation: QRNG existing problems Low generation rate Typical rates: 6.5 Mb/s using vacuum state fluctuations,16 Mb/s using polarization measurement (commercial QRNG), 152Mb/s using photon arrival time [M. Wahl, et al, APL, 98, , 2011]. High cost For example, the IDQ system (Quantis, 16Mb/s) costs Eavesdropper (Eve) may have partial information Control side information (detector noise, environmental noise, etc).

11 Our new setup PLC-MZI ADC Laser Detector Temperature Controller PLC- MZI: planar lightwave circuit Mach- Zehnder interferometer; ADC: 8- bit analog- to- digital convertor. Sampling rate: 1G samples per second Extractable random bits: 6.7 bits/ sample Generation rate over 6 Gb/s! F. Xu, B. Qi, X. Ma, H. Xu, H. Zheng, H.-K. Lo, arxiv: (2011) 11

15 Post-processing Why we need post-processing? Eve may have partial information (by controlling classical noise). Quantum fluctuation is a non-uniform distribution (Gaussian). Extract out uniform-quantum randomness! Procedure Randomness extractor! Min-entropy evaluation Randomness extraction 15
16 Min-entropy evaluation Randomness is quantified by min-entropy H ( X ) = log (max Pr[ X = x]) 2 x {0,1} Quantum min-entropy is evaluated by a physical model. Assumptions of our physical model Quantum signal is independent of classical noise Quantum signal follows a Gaussian distribution Quantum signal to classical noise ratio can be calculated Total phase fluctuations, the mixture of quantum signal and classical noise, can be characterized by random sampling The sequence of the raw data is independent and identically distributed. n F.

Derive the quantum signal to classical noise ratio. Evaluate the variance of quantum signal (Gaussian distribution). Calculate the min-entropy of quantum signal (given classical noise, the quantum signal is a shifted Gaussian Distribution). 29
