Quantum random number generator
Abstract
A system and method are provided to yield a QRNG based on homodyne detection of quantum noise (e.g., vacuum noise measured as shot noise) generated from a local oscillator, such as an LED. In one embodiment, a QRNG may be provided that is adjustable based on a control input to produce a random output that can be translated to one or more random data bits.
