Abstract

Truly random numbers are in great demand in various applications. Self-testing quantum random number generators provide a way to verify that random numbers indeed come from quantum effects. Optical quantum random number generators of this type are the most promising but due to their relative complexity have been realized only as a macroscopic prototype. Miniaturization of such devices opens the way to commercial use. Quantum photonics provides the means to achieve this goal. We discuss general design of self-testing optical quantum random number generator and the ways to implement it as a compact integrated photonic circuit within current technological reach.
