Abstract

Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) are quantum cryptographic protocols that distill secure random bit strings from quantum sources. One of the main research challenges in this area is to improve their random bit generation rates. Here we investigate several possible post processing strategies for QRNG protocols, showing when they help and when they hinder. We also look at the trade-offs to using these methods as some require a larger amount of initial randomness. Finally, we comment on some interesting future problems that remain open.
