QUANTUM RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A RANDOM NUMBER BY MEANS OF A QUANTUM RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR

摘要

A quantum random number generator is described as having a first single-photon detector that detects a first event, and a second single-photon detector that detects a second event, and as having an electronic circuit by way of which the first single-photon detector and the second single-photon detector are interconnected in such a way that after detection of the first event the latter is outputted and an output of a detected second event is suppressed.
