Random numbers are a fundamental resource in science and engineering with important
applications in simulation and cryptography. The inherent randomness at the core of …

We review the current status of single-photon-source and single-photon-detector
technologies operating at wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the infrared. We discuss …

Quantum physics can be exploited to generate true random numbers, which have important
roles in many applications, especially in cryptography. Genuine randomness from the …

The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought
experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrödinger's cat. These experiments have now …

After they have interacted, quantum particles generally behave as a single nonseparable
entangled system. The concept of entanglement plays an essential role in quantum physics …

The concept of the photon, central to Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect, is
exactly 100 years old. Yet, while photons have been detected individually for more than 50 …

A novel quantum cryptography scheme is proposed, in which a single photon is prepared in
a linear superposition state of three basis kets. A photon split to three pulses is sent from …

Continuing a bestselling tradition, An Introduction to Cryptography, Second Edition provides
a solid foundation in cryptographic concepts that features all of the requisite background …

A physical random number generator based on the intrinsic randomness of quantum
mechanics is described. The random events are realized by the choice of single photons …
