Quantum random number generator

A quantum random number generator (QRNG) based on a photoeffect as a true random process was proposed and implemented as a stand-alone module. It uses a deterministic post-processing algorithm to overcome physical imperfections of real components. Our minimalistic design of QRNG prevents possible loopholes and makes it suitable for commercial production. The proposed QRNG provides a binary output stream of 1.2 Mbit/s that successfully passes NIST statistical tests.
