> Here we demonstrate a fully traceable random number generation protocol based on device-independent techniques. Our protocol extracts randomness from unpredictable non-local quantum correlations, and uses distributed intertwined hash chains to cryptographically trace and verify the extraction process. This protocol forms the basis for a public traceable and certifiable quantum randomness beacon that we have launched.
FWIU also there are already QRNG or QTRNG based upon photonic speckle pattern interference; LEDs and a photodiode and an FPGA or an RP2040 or better.
How quantum mechanics principles & Tsotchke can flip random number generation in modern applications
tsotchke/quantum_rng: https://github.com/tsotchke/quantum_rng :
> 4.82M operations per second
> 178.45 MB/sec throughput
ingen0s/quantum_rng_rust_lib: https://github.com/ingen0s/quantum_rng_rust_lib :
> ~100M random numbers per second
What about if you then feed that into a DRBG?
