Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG)
The Los Alamos QRNG is a hardware-based high-performance Random Number Generator capable of generating 200 Mbit/s or more of true random numbers. The device harvests entropy from fluctuations in an optical source that arise from quantum mechanical properties of light. These quantum effects are irreducibly random; the resulting numbers are unpredictable and beyond the influence of any adversary. Qrypt, Inc., launched in 2017, has amassed multiple quantum entropy sources to create high-quality random keys at scale. The company is engaging with Los Alamos through license and a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement to facilitate the transition of QRNG technology and deploy the technology into the marketplace.
