Efficient random number generation techniques for CMOS single-photon avalanche diode array exploiting fast time tagging units

This work presents a technique to produce random bits by exploiting single-photon time of arrival. Two quantum random number generator (QRNG) devices based on the field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology are presented: Randy, which uses one discrete single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), and L...
