"Revolutionizing Security: The Next Generation QRNG Protocol for Unbreakable Encryption"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily
Researchers from Nanjing University have proposed and demonstrated a secure and fast source-device-independent quantum random number generator (QRNG) protocol. The protocol utilizes single-photon detection technology and entangled photons to generate random numbers. By certifying the time-energy entanglement through nonlocal dispersion cancellation, the researchers confirmed the security of the scheme. The QRNG achieved a secure generation rate of 4 megabits per second (Mbps), with the potential to reach gigabits per second with advanced single-photon detectors. This development paves the way for practical applications of secure quantum information tasks and promotes the advancement of high-performance and high-security QRNGs.
