Mutually testing source-device-independent quantum random number generator
Fig. 1. Flow diagram of the experimental structure. An untrusted coherent state (CS) is divided into two identical and probably impure parts, CS1 for measuring quadrature
Fig. 2. Experimental schematic configuration for mutually testing SDI QRNG. The pink area is a private space that no eavesdropper has access to. The black and blue curves represent the electric and data cables, respectively. The coherent state is generated via a laser and MC. The laser beam is divided into the signal beam and LO via a 98:2 BS. Both the signal beam and the LO are split in half via two 50:50 BSs. Two BHDs are used to measure the quadrature
Fig. 3. Red, blue, and black curves show the autocorrelations calculated from the raw bits, the downsampled bits, and the extracted bits, respectively. The three data streams have the same length of
Fig. 4. Comparison of the data acquisitions and appropriate time sequences of mutually testing and randomly toggling manners. The red and blue points represent the measured data of quadratures
Fig. 5. Schematic of the balanced homodyne detection. The difference current is converted into an amplified voltage signal by a transimpedance amplifier.
