Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of quantum safety communication, in particular to a single continuous laser phase reconstruction quantum random number generation system based on coherent detection.
Background
Currently, quantum random number generators based on phase noise mainly have two structures: one is to introduce a small delay in one arm of the interferometer, the phase fluctuation is distributed in a small range, at this time, the interferometer output meets the statistical rule of Gaussian distribution, and the generated original random number also meets the Gaussian distribution; the other is to introduce a larger delay in the interferometer, which can lead to even distribution of phase fluctuations in the range where the interferometer output satisfies the statistics of the arcsine distribution, and the original random numbers of the generated pairs also satisfy the arcsine distribution. Whether gaussian or arcsine, the random bits are extracted randomly to produce a final uniform distribution, and in the process, nearly half of the random bits are lost.
Phase noise quantum random number generators based on coherent detection have been proposed for the problem of serious loss of random bits. The phase difference of two independent lasers is extracted through coherent detection, random numbers which are uniformly distributed can be obtained without post-processing, and most of random tests can be passed. However, this solution has drawbacks: (1) the interference of the individual lasers requires that the two lasers have identical frequency and spectral characteristics, which requires an additional temperature control module to ensure the stability of the laser wavelength. In practical applications, even through precise adjustment, the center frequencies of the two laser beams are difficult to perfectly align, so that the interference output also contains a beat signal, and needs to be removed in the data processing stage. (2) In order to obtain a uniformly distributed phase, the sampling rate is limited to a very low level, which directly limits the generation rate of the quantum random number, and finally only a rate of 1.2Mbps is obtained, which may not meet the requirements of practical applications. (3) The detected noise signal not only contains quantum noise but also contains partial classical noise, and the scheme only considers the quantum noise, and lacks the consideration of classical noise, so that the safety is required to be improved. Therefore, a solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned problems.

Another schematic structure of the system is shown in fig. 6, and the whole system is connected by optical fiber coupling. The working process of the system comprises the following steps: the output of the laser is sent into a polarization maintaining fiber beam splitter with a beam splitting ratio of 50:50, the beam splitter outputs two paths of optical signals, one path of optical signals is added with delay, the two paths of optical signals are respectively used as signal light and local oscillation light, the signal light and the local oscillation light, the signal light and pi/2 phase-shifted local oscillation light are interfered through two couplers, the interference is input into a pair of balanced homodyne detection structures, two quadrature components I and Q are output, a phase item theta is reconstructed according to the quadrature components, and the original random number is generated by sampling and quantization.
Under experimental setup of the scheme, the phase fluctuates Δφ 0 (t) the variance is sufficiently large, the phase term Δφ (t) is at [ -pi, pi]The method satisfies uniform distribution, generates random numbers according to the reconstructed phases, directly obtains uniformly distributed random bits, wherein the minimum entropy of the random bits is equal to the quantized bit number, random bits cannot be lost in random extraction, and the theoretically maximum random number generation rate is obtained. The scheme adopts a single laser source, thereby avoiding the control problem of two laser sources; generating random numbers by adopting phase truth values, wherein quantum entropy reaches the maximum value, and random bits are hardly lost in the randomness extraction process; the intensity fluctuation of the laser can be reduced; the whole system is easier to miniaturize and integrate and has more practicability; and the random number generation rate is improved by 2 times.
The classical phase noise quantum random number generator scheme uses a photodetector to detect interferometer output for generating quantum random numbers. Interferometer output light intensity I out And the phase fluctuation delta phi satisfies the following conditions: i out Oc sin (Δφ), the detector outputs a voltage V out Proportional to sin (Δφ). While the laser phase is a gaussian random variable, the variance has a large effect on the output distribution. The effect of different variances on the phase distribution is shown in fig. 7, which depicts the probability distribution of successive laser phases with different variances; wherein (a) is a phase profile: demonstrating a random phase probability distribution starting from 0.1 pi and starting at 0.2 pi spacing to 1.1 pi, mapping random phases to [ -pi, pi]In the interval, after the standard deviation is increased to 0.5 pi, the random phase of the Gaussian distribution converges the height to uniform distribution; (b) is an interference output profile: it has been demonstrated that when the random phase converges to a uniform distribution as the variance increases, it is constrained to sin to [ -1,1]During the interval, the interferometer output will satisfy the arcsine distribution, and the generated original random number will also satisfy the arcsine distribution; the reconstructed phase fluctuation is subject to uniform distribution, and the original random number obtained after sampling quantization is fullThe random bits are uniformly distributed, the minimum entropy reaches the maximum in the randomness evaluation stage, and the problem that the random bits are lost in the randomness extraction process can be well solved.
Under various statistical distributions, the uniform distribution does not contain any information, theoretically has the maximum entropy value, and has the highest extractable randomness. For gaussian and arcsine distributions, it is necessary to sacrifice part of the random bits since it is necessary to obtain a uniform distribution of true random numbers. To confirm this, simulation experiments were performed with minimum entropy as a criterion, and the effect of different distributions on entropy is shown in FIG. 8, where (a) is the case where the random phase Δφ variance is 0.09, detector output V out Is distributed in [ -1,1]Gaussian distribution of intervals; (b) (c) graph demonstrates that the random phase satisfies a uniform distribution at variance 22, where V out The arcsine distribution is satisfied; (a) And (c) two diagrams respectively represent two schemes of typical quantum random number generators, and (b) the scheme for reconstructing laser phase fluctuation and generating quantum random numbers by using the laser real phase fluctuation is provided by the invention.
The minimum entropy characterizes the number of extractable true randomness, the expression of which is:
H min (X)=-log 2 (max{P(X=x i )})
under the experimental condition of 5bits quantization, the minimum entropy H of three schemes min Respectively (a) 2.80bits/sample; (b) 4.98bits/sample; (c) 3.39bits/sample. Through the random extraction process, the random bits are lost by 44.0%, 0.4% and 32.2%, respectively. It can be seen that the uniform distribution has the greatest entropy and the lowest bit loss. Assuming a sampling rate of fsample/s, the resulting random bit generation rate is H f, which is proportional to the minimum entropy. Therefore, the scheme provided by the invention can realize maximum entropy and minimum bit loss, so that the generation rate of the quantum random number is improved, and therefore, the quantum random number generator designed by the invention has great advantages and potential in the aspects of practicality, stability and integration, and can be used for secret communication, scientific simulation, cryptography and other scenes. And the invention is used inThe simplicity of the processing technology and the practicability and reliability of the optical communication assembly make it easy to generate the credible random number for encryption, and meanwhile, from the perspective of photoelectric integration, the invention has the advantages of simple design, easy integration of used devices, and ensured integration, miniaturization and real-time future development trend of the quantum random number generator.
