- The practical generation of certifiably random numbers from quantum resources is a near-term application of quantum technologies. In this work we developed a practical technique for the certification of random numbers from off-the-shelf components leading to state-of-the-art rates of randomness generation, which is private and certifiable. This work was covered in an article in Physics World (9th December 2020) where one of the world leaders in the field of quantum cryptography, Renato Renner, said the scheme “… could have very broad applications”. The underlying concept in the work has also been developed further by a start-up called Quantum Dice (quantum-dice.com).
