What is QRNG?

Researchers developed a QRNG that generates random numbers at 250 terabits per second (Tbps), 1,000 times faster than previous best-in-class methods

QRNGs use quantum mechanics’ inherent unpredictability to produce truly random numbers, unlike deterministic pseudo-random number generators

The new QRNG uses a distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode to create ultra-short light pulses with random quantum phases

[{"selector":"#anim-48d26d4f-1423-4396-9d80-dfc60fcd1f26 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-733bf3d2-25e8-4eb5-b45c-02f32b9c4e0b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b9e16ef2-6c17-4b9b-8e0c-ef6a5bd3f421","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Interference patterns from these pulses, caused by phase differences, are detected and digitized at 100 GHz, yielding massive random bit throughput

Phase diffusion in the laser diode ensures each pulse has a unique, unpredictable phase, making the randomness irreducible and reliable
