Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of quantum communication, in particular to a quantum random number generator based on SFP (small form-factor pluggable) transceiver.
Background
Random numbers have important applications in many areas of modern society, and in a series of important areas such as authentication, scientific computing, and cryptographic systems, high-quality random numbers are indispensable. Existing mainstream random number generation schemes are based on computer software that generates a new series of random numbers by a mathematical function on the basis of a seed file (a set of random numbers). Such random numbers are generally referred to as pseudo-random numbers because they are not of any randomness in nature. The wide range of applications of pseudo-random numbers benefit from their almost zero cost and the associated procedures can be easily applied to a variety of practical application scenarios. But the application of pseudo-random numbers in any security-related field will face a great risk, especially in the age of today's computer computing capabilities fast-moving, due to its inherent non-randomness. Therefore, the application of true random numbers in the security field greatly improves the security of the system. Traditionally, removing the above-mentioned pseudo random numbers can also be achieved by measuring classical physical noise sources to obtain random numbers, such as circuit thermal noise. However, the classical physical theory does not have any randomness, and the randomness of the classical physical noise source is due to the complexity of the system and not the intrinsic randomness, so the random number based on this cannot be called true random number. Moreover, the generation rate of the physical source random number is slow, and the statistical property is poor, so that the physical source random number is never used on a large scale.
In physics, quantum mechanics theory is intrinsic and contains randomness, so that true random numbers can be obtained by measuring quantum physics phenomena, which is the only way to obtain the true random numbers at present. Random number generators based on quantum physics are generally referred to as quantum random number generators, and since they have been proposed, they have been developed continuously. Quantum random number generators based on laser phase random fluctuations are considered to be the closest to the marketed quantum random number scheme. The scheme is simple, the adopted devices are all universal optical devices, so that the cost is economical, the random number generation rate can be up to tens of Gbps, and the system is stable and reliable.
Based on security considerations, it would be a necessary trend for pseudo-random numbers to be replaced by quantum random numbers. Referring to fig. 1, the working process of the quantum random number generator based on laser phase random fluctuation in the prior art is as follows:
1. an external DFB laser emits continuous laser light.
2. The laser enters the interference device to interfere.
3. And measuring the interfered laser by utilizing a photoelectric detection module.
And 4, the data acquisition module of the FPGA carries out digital sampling on the measured electric signals to obtain original random numbers.
5. The original random number is processed by a post-processing module to obtain the quantum random number.
6. The generated quantum random number is output to the corresponding random number using device through the port.
The quantum random number generator is an important basic device in the field of quantum information, and since the technology is an emerging field, the main research and development and attention directions are the stability of the operation of the quantum random number generator and the generation rate of the quantum random number, but related researches are lacking in the aspects of structure simplification, cost reduction and miniaturization, which prevent the further popularization and application of the quantum random number generator.

The specific construction and connection of the interference device is further described in connection with the operation.
When the quantum random number generator works, the quantum random number generator comprises:
1. and adding a fixed level to the Tx port of the SFP, so that the DFB laser built in the SFP emits stable continuous laser through the emergent end of the DFB laser.
Dfb laser light enters the entrance end of the beam splitter (port 1).
3. The other incident end (port 2) of the beam splitter is connected with the corresponding reflecting end (port 3) of the port 1 by a fiber delay line.
4. The interfered laser exits through the port 4 of the beam splitter and then enters the incidence end of the SFP for photoelectric detection.

And 6, enabling an output signal of the SFP to enter an FPGA, and digitally acquiring an input signal by a high-speed clock in the FPGA to obtain original random number data.
In order to determine the appropriate compression ratio, this step requires that a large amount of raw random number data be collected first for randomness analysis (see the effect test section below).

Example 2
Referring to fig. 5, the quantum random number generator in this embodiment further refines the interference device based on the principle of fig. 1, where the interference device uses two beam splitters, each beam splitter preferably uses a polarization maintaining beam splitter, and the required optical fiber in the scheme uses a polarization maintaining optical fiber.
The specific construction and connection of the interference device is further described in connection with the operation.
When the quantum random number generator works, the quantum random number generator comprises:
1. and adding a fixed level to the Tx port of the SFP, so that the DFB laser built in the SFP emits stable continuous laser through the emergent end of the DFB laser.
1. The laser light is split into two identical laser light beams via a first balanced beam splitter (BS 1).
2. The two laser beams respectively enter a second balance beam splitter (BS 2) for interference after being transmitted by the optical fibers. The two optical fibers have different lengths, so that two laser beams at different moments interfere. The two balanced splitters and the fiber form a common MZI interferometer.
3. The interfered laser enters the incidence end of the SFP for measurement.
The subsequent steps of this example are the same as those of example 1, and see steps 5 to 8 in example 1.
Example 3
Referring to fig. 6, the quantum random number generator in this embodiment further refines the interference device based on the principle of fig. 1, where the interference device uses a circulator, a beam splitter and two faraday rotation mirrors, the beam splitter preferably uses a polarization maintaining beam splitter, and the required optical fibers in the scheme use polarization maintaining optical fibers.

4. The two laser beams are transmitted through optical fibers (one of which is delayed) respectively, and then reflected through corresponding first and second Faraday rotary mirrors (FM 1 and FM 2) respectively, and then returned to the BS through the optical fibers for interference. Since the lengths of the two optical fibers are different, the lasers at different times interfere. The use of a faraday rotator mirror can automatically compensate for polarization shifts that occur when laser light is transmitted in an optical fiber.
5. The interfered laser sequentially enters the incidence end of the SFP through the ports 2 and 3 of the three-port optical fiber circulator for measurement.
The subsequent steps of this example are the same as those of example 1, and see steps 5 to 8 in example 1.
Quantum random number generator principle
The basic principle of the quantum random number generator based on laser phase randomness is spontaneous radiation. The electric field for a continuous laser can be described by the following formula
Where A is amplitude and ω is frequencyIs the fluctuation of phase. After a delay of a fixed tau time by a fiber delay line
Interfering the delayed and undelayed two laser beams, wherein the square strength after interference is
Here the constant term is ignored and the term is used,the fluctuation of the phase is converted into the fluctuation of the light intensity by interference, and the fluctuation of the light intensity can be simply measured by a broadcast television detector. True randomness results fromThis term contains both classical fluctuations due to classical noise and quantum fluctuations due to spontaneous radiation (quantum fluctuations will follow a gaussian distribution). By operating the DFB laser around the threshold value, the quantum fluctuation dominates the phase fluctuation, but at the same time, due to a certain correlation between random numbers generated by the influence of unavoidable classical fluctuation, conventional randomness tests cannot be passed, so that further post-processing is required to extract true random numbers.
The above-described interference formula is used to describe the interference schemes in embodiment 2 and embodiment 3, and for embodiment 1, the structure is relatively simple but the interference process is more complicated than the former, but the nature of randomness is the same as that of the above scheme, so that the description will not be repeated.
The randomness of the original data is evaluated by adopting the minimum entropy, and the calculation formula is as follows
n represents the value of the sample, i.e. the data is divided in units of n bits. Giving a minimum entropy rate according to a calculation result of the minimum entropy, wherein a calculation formula is l=H ∞ (X)/n, which indicates the upper limit of the quantum random bits that can be extracted from each original bit.
Effect testing
To demonstrate the reliability of the protocol, specific experiments were performed for each example and the data were analyzed accordingly. The analysis of the pattern is mainly performed by the data of the following three aspects: 1. minimum entropy of the original data; 2. minimum entropy of post-processed data; 3. and (5) counting the test results.
For example 1, the minimum entropy of the raw data is shown in the following table
| n | Minimum entropy rate (raw data) | Minimum entropy rate (post-processing data) |
| 1 | 0.837680193 | 0.999968147 |
| 2 | 0.681031144 | 0.999936964 |
| 3 | 0.664931504 | 0.999904251 |
| 4 | 0.630478646 | 0.999812051 |
| 5 | 0.657811791 | 0.999834876 |
| 6 | 0.674639878 | 0.999745208 |
| 7 | 0.684794855 | 0.999632498 |
| 8 | 0.655774098 | 0.999582662 |
| 9 | 0.675624979 | 0.999216714 |
| 10 | 0.677261662 | 0.998911089 |
TABLE 1
The parameter conditions for the data acquisition are: the bandwidth of SFP is 1.25Gb/s, the sampling frequency of FPGA is 500Mbps, and the size of test data is 1.5Gb. For different numbers of sample bits (n), the minimum entropy data fluctuates, but is above 0.6 (in order to indicate the reasonability of the size of the test data, the test data is further improved to 8Gb, and the calculation result of the minimum entropy only has slight change). Therefore, in the subsequent post-processing process using Toeplitz-Hashing, 60% compression processing is performed on the original data (the output data is 60% of the original data), the processed data are shown in table.1, and the minimum entropy rates of different sample bit numbers are very close to 1, which indicates that the data obtained by the post-processing have removed classical correlations to obtain completely random quantum random numbers. The influence of the FPGA sampling frequency on the data is further analyzed in the experiment, after the sampling frequency is increased to 1.25GHz, the minimum entropy of the original data is obviously reduced, which indicates that the oversampling exists, so that the sampling rate of 500MHz is a reasonable choice. At the same time, the bandwidth analysis of the SFP shows that the SFP adopting the bandwidth of 2.5Gb/s has no obvious effect on the original data, so that the SFP adopting the bandwidth of 1.25Gb/s is a better choice of the scheme from the viewpoint of cost.
To further verify the randomness of the post-processed data, a current general random number statistical test procedure is used to perform a strict randomness test on the post-processed data. There are two test procedures used:
1. the random number test program provided by the national institute of standards, NIST test for short;
2.Alphabit Battery Test is currently the only randomness test software specifically designed for hardware random number generators.
The test results show that the data after post-treatment can pass the test smoothly, and the test results are shown in the following table
