Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for quantum random number generation (QRNG). An example method includes generating, by a QRNG chip, a series of particles and transmitting the series of particles through a double-slit structure comprising a first slit and a second slit. The example method further includes detecting, by the QRNG chip, a first subseries of particles transmitted through the first slit to generate a first detected subseries of particles. The example method further includes detecting, by the QRNG chip, a second subseries of particles transmitted through the second slit to generate a second detected subseries of particles. The example method further includes decoding, by the QRNG chip, the first detected subseries of particles and the second detected subseries of particles to generate a decoded set of bits that, in some instances, may be used to generate a random number, a session key, or both.
