Advanced Quantum Communication Systems
… we have improved several resources for quantum communication and quantum computing. Specifically, we have developed improved sources of polarization-entangled photons, a low-loss quantum memory for polarization qubits, and a quantum random number generator. These tools may be applied to …

Photon Arrival Time Quantum Random Number Generation
A quantum random number generator (QRNG) is one which re- lies on a physical process, extracting randomness from the inherent uncertainty in quantum mechanics. This is to be contrasted with current pseudo-random number generators (PRNG), which although useful, are in fact deterministic: they always …

Value Indefiniteness, Randomness and Unpredictability in Quantum Foundations
The outcomes of quantum measurements are generally considered to be random, but despite the fact that this randomness is an important element in quantum information theory, its nature is not well understood. In this thesis, we study several issues relating to the origin and certification of quantum …

Optical quantum random number generation: applications of single-photon event timing
… the performance of many systems in the field of quantum information. For example, random number generators are used in almost all areas of science, and the initial portion of this work details the theory, design, and characterization of two photon-arrival-time quantum random number generators …

Improving the Security of Continuous Variable Quantum Random Number Generators
Random numbers are vital for a wide variety of applications including lotteries, statistical sampling, computer simulations and cryptography. They can also be used to make random decisions required in both quantum key distribution (QKD) and fundamental tests of the foundations of quantum mechanics. …
