Existing solutions both come with drawbacks—device-independent quantum random number generators (QRNGs) are highly impractical and standard semi-device-independent QRNGs are limited to a specific physical implementation and level of trust. Here we propose a framework for semi-device-independent randomness certification, using a source of trusted vacuum in the form of a signal shutter. It employs a flexible set of assumptions and levels of trust, allowing it to be applied in a wide range of physical scenarios involving both quantum and classical entropy sources. We experimentally demonstrate our protocol with a photonic setup and generate secure random bits under three different assumptions with varying degrees of security and resulting data rates."}],"volume":7,"_id":"9255","scopus_import":"1","oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"npj Quantum Information","publication_status":"published","file":[{"access_level":"open_access","checksum":"26d3f2a2c8c8fa8c1002028326b45f64","date_created":"2021-03-22T11:09:34Z","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2021-03-22T11:09:34Z","success":1,"creator":"dernst","file_id":"9274","file_name":"2021_NPJQuantumInformation_Pivoluska.pdf","relation":"main_file","file_size":1360271}],"article_processing_charge":"No","isi":1,"user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","department":[{"_id":"FyKo"}],"day":"15","publisher":"Springer Nature","author":[{"first_name":"Matej","last_name":"Pivoluska","full_name":"Pivoluska, Matej"},{"full_name":"Plesch, Martin","last_name":"Plesch","first_name":"Martin"},{"first_name":"Máté","last_name":"Farkas","full_name":"Farkas, Máté"},{"full_name":"Ruzickova, Natalia","id":"D2761128-D73D-11E9-A1BF-BA0DE6697425","first_name":"Natalia","last_name":"Ruzickova"},{"last_name":"Flegel","first_name":"Clara","full_name":"Flegel, Clara"},{"last_name":"Valencia","first_name":"Natalia Herrera","full_name":"Valencia, Natalia Herrera"},{"first_name":"Will","last_name":"Mccutcheon","full_name":"Mccutcheon, Will"},{"full_name":"Malik, Mehul","first_name":"Mehul","last_name":"Malik"},{"last_name":"Aguilar","first_name":"Edgar A.","full_name":"Aguilar, Edgar A."}],"external_id":{"isi":["000629173100001"]},"status":"public","date_updated":"2023-08-07T14:17:26Z","oa_version":"Published Version","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1038/s41534-021-00387-1","article_type":"original","has_accepted_license":"1","article_number":"50","ddc":["530"],"acknowledgement":"We would like to thank Robert Fickler for discussions about the experimental realization and Marek Sýs for running the NIST randomness test on the data we acquired in the experiment.
