论文摘要
我们描述了由极化态态在极化状态上产生的光子计数的均衡的随机位序列的产生。所得序列是无偏见的,在统计随机性测试的NIST电池中通过适用的测试,并被证明是borel的正常,而无需实验性校准阶段或输出后处理。由于光子计数是在测量违反clauser-horne-Horne-Holt-Holt不平等的过程中产生的,因此我们能够同时验证光子统计的非经典性质,并估算出对位生成来源的最小层面的下限。我们实验中的位生产率约为13位/s。
We describe the generation of sequences of random bits from the parity of photon counts produced by polarization measurements on a polarization-entangled state. The resulting sequences are bias free, pass the applicable tests in the NIST battery of statistical randomness tests, and are shown to be Borel normal, without the need for experimental calibration stages or postprocessing of the output. Because the photon counts are produced in the course of a measurement of the violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality, we are able to concurrently verify the nonclassical nature of the photon statistics and estimate a lower bound on the min-entropy of the bit-generating source. The rate of bit production in our experiment is around 13 bits/s.
