A quantum random number generator implementation with polarized photons

In this letter, we present an implementation of a random number generator based on photon polarization superposition. We prepare photons in a superposition state of vertical and horizontal polarizations, let them pass through a polarizing beamsplitter and set two detectors at each path to get a 50–5...
