Abstract

We present a post-processing free quantum random number generator (QRNG) based on silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) LEDs as a source of randomness. The relatively simple setup for data extraction, a negligible bias measured from the datasets and applying no post-processing operations to the raw data are the main advantages of this QRNG . The obtained bit sequences pass all the NIST tests and the highest bit-rate achieved is 0.6 Mbps.
