| contents | Random Number Generators are critical components of modern cryptosystems. Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) have emerged to provide high-quality randomness for these applications. Here we describe a scheme to extract random numbers using balanced detection of shot noise from an LED in a commercially available off-the-shelf package. The balanced detection minimizes classical noise contributions from the optical field, improving the isolation of the quantum noise. We present a detailed description and analyze the performance of a QRNG that can be easily integrated into existing systems without the requirement of custom components. The design is optimised for manufacturability, cost, and size. |
