Abstract

Cost-effective and fast Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) is an essen-tial part of the modern cybersecurity and scientific simulation due to the necessity of unpredictable,irreproducible and unbiased random numbers. The student will learn the fabrication, simulationand laboratory techniques to create a QRNG chip and understand its market implementationviability. The plan is for a period of 12 month.
