PROBLEMS Traditional random number generators, which often rely on deterministic algorithms or physical processes that can be influenced or predicted, have proven vulnerable to attacks. In several high-profile cases, classical random number generators were compromised or tampered with, leading to significant security breaches. SOLUTIONS We have invented and developed the Entropy protocol on our full-stack quantum computer MosaiQ. This unique combination generates quantum-certifiably random numbers. Our approach involves both theoretical and experimental contributions. We measure the potential information an eavesdropper could use to fake a violation of locality. We set a performance bound for the device to produce certified random numbers. The device periodically self-tests to validate these numbers. We provide experimental validation on MosaiQ. BENEFITS Quantum advantage in data encryption on a small-scale photonic device. It produces intrinsically random numbers with quantum certification. The system is robust against against potential eavesdropping attempts. Periodic self-testing ensures ongoing reliability and experimentally validated solutions, bridging theory and practice.
