Completed Projects
This project will explore new quantum random number generation methods based on photon arrival time and single-photon anti-bunching data with high bit generation speed. Quantum correlated photon pairs produced via spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) will be used as DV qubit source which is required for high bit production rates.
