Random Number Generation Using A Scattering Waveguide

摘要

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for random number generation using a scattering waveguide. The apparatus includes a light source for providing coherent light and a scattering waveguide for receiving the coherent light and providing scattered light. The relative position of the light source and the scattering waveguide are variable. The apparatus also includes a detector for forming at least one random number based on the scattered light.
