Quantum Random Number Generator
Randomness is a cornerstone of secure cryptography, simulations, and machine learning applications. However, traditional random number generators rely on pseudo-random algorithms, which are deterministic and can be vulnerable to reverse engineering. Quanfluence introduces a cutting-edge Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) that leverages the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to deliver true randomness.
How the Quanfluence QRNG Works
The Quanfluence QRNG harnesses vacuum noise as its primary entropy source. Vacuum noise is an intrinsic quantum property, arising from fluctuations in the electromagnetic field, even in a perfect vacuum where no particles or classical signals are present. These fluctuations are completely unpredictable and provide an ideal source of randomness.
Homodyne measurements, a sophisticated optical detection technique, are employed to extract this randomness. In this setup:
1. A laser beam, known as the local oscillator, is mixed with the vacuum state at a beam splitter.
2. The two resulting beams are directed to photodetectors, which measure the difference in light intensity.
3. These intensity differences correspond to the quantum fluctuations, providing raw data for random number generation.
