Experimental Low-Latency Device-Independent Quantum Randomness
Yanbao Zhang, Lynden K. Shalm, Joshua C. Bienfang +10
Applications of randomness such as private key generation and public randomness beacons require small blocks of certified random bits on demand. Device-independent quantum random n…
Diffusion Monte Carlo approach versus adiabatic computation for local Hamiltonians
Jacob Bringewatt, William Dorland, Stephen P. Jordan +1
Most research regarding quantum adiabatic optimization has focused on stoquastic Hamiltonians, whose ground states can be expressed with only real, nonnegative amplitudes. This rai…
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Commodity Security Protocols: Introduction and Integration
Alan Mink, Sheila Frankel, Ray Perlner
We present an overview of quantum key distribution (QKD), a secure key exchange method based on the quantum laws of physics rather than computational complexity. We also provide an…
Experimentally Generated Random Numbers Certified by the Impossibility of Superluminal Signaling
Peter Bierhorst, Emanuel Knill, Scott Glancy +7
Random numbers are an important resource for applications such as numerical simulation and secure communication. However, it is difficult to certify whether a physical random numbe…
Experimentally Generated Randomness Certified by the Impossibility of Superluminal Signals
Peter Bierhorst, Emanuel Knill, Scott Glancy +9
From dice to modern complex circuits, there have been many attempts to build increasingly better devices to generate random numbers. Today, randomness is fundamental to security an…
LDPC for QKD Reconciliation
Alan Mink, Anastase Nakassis
We present the Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) forward error correction algorithm adapted for the Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol in a form readily applied by developers. A…
