Abstract
En 中文
Random numbers are vital in cryptography, simulation modeling, and gambling. This study presents a scheme for a multi-bit quantum random number generator utilizing X-ray radiation. Using a homemade multi-pixel single-photon detector array, we extract randomness from three modes of X-ray radiation: arrival time, spatial position, and polarization direction. We employ the Toeplitz Matrix Hashing extractor for randomness distillation, resulting in the extraction of 40.4 million random bits at a rate of 33.7 bits per photon. The generated random numbers pass all test criteria in the National Institute of Standards and Technology statistical test suite. Our work paves what we believe to be a novel method for generating multi-bit quantum random numbers, promising enhanced security and reliability in various technological applications.
