Secure quantum random number generation with perovskite photonics

• In the field of cryptography, it is crucial that the random numbers used in key generation are not only genuinely random but also private, meaning that no other party than the legitimate user must have information about the numbers generated. Quantum random number generators can offer both properties - fundamentally random output, as well as the ability to implement generators that can certify the amount of private randomness generated, in order to remove some side-channel attacks. In this study we introduce perovskite technology as a resilient platform for photonics, where the resilience is owed to perovskite's ease of manufacturing. This has the potential to mitigate disruptions in the supply chain by enabling local and domestic manufacturing of photonic devices. We demonstrate the feasibility of the platform by implementing a measurement-device independent quantum random number generator based on perovskite LEDs.
