Abstract
En 中文
Quantum random number generation (QRNG) leveraging intrinsic quantum uncertainty has attracted significant interest in the field of integrated photonic architecture, with applications in quantum cryptography, tests of quantum nonlocality, and beyond. The demand for compact, low-energy consumption, robust, fast, and cost-effective QRNGs integrated into photonic chips is highlighted, whereas most previous works focused on bulk optics. Here, based on the metalens array entangled source, we experimentally realized a miniaturized, high-dimensional quantum random number generator via a meta-device without post-randomness extraction. Specifically, the device has a high-density output with 100 channels per square millimeter. This chip-scale quantum randomness source can obtain random number arrays without post-randomness extraction and enable compact integration for quantum applications needing secure keys or randomness. Our approach demonstrates potential in secure key generation and randomness for quantum applications.
