      A novel integrated optical source capable of emitting faint pulses with different polarization states and with different intensity levels at 100 MHz has been developed. The source relies on a single laser diode followed ...
    • Strong experimental guarantees in ultrafast quantum random number generation 

      Mitchell, Morgan W.; Abellán, Carlos, 1990-; Amaya, Waldimar (American Physical Society, 2015-01-12)
      Article
      Accés obert
      We describe a methodology and standard of proof for experimental claims of quantum random-number generation (QRNG), analogous to well-established methods from precision measurement. For appropriately constructed physical ...
    • Ultra-fast quantum randomness generation by accelerated phase diffusion in a pulsed laser diode 

      Abellán Cano, Carlos; Amaya, Waldimar; Jofre Cruanyes, Marc; Curty, M.; Acín dal Maschio, Antonio; Capmany, Jose; Pruneri, Valerio; Mitchell, Morgan W. (2014-01-27)
      Article
      Accés obert
      We demonstrate a high bit-rate quantum random number generator by interferometric detection of phase diffusion in a gain-switched DFB laser diode. Gain switching at few-GHz frequencies produces a train of bright pulses ...
