Random-Number Generator

Any machine or activity that produces a series of numbers with no pattern. A random number generator may be simple, such as rolling dice or flipping a coin. Many others are complex computers. Random number generators are used in gambling, particularly in slots and lotteries.

Therefore we decided to test experimentally similar memory effects in the low intensity (single photon) regime, which was made possible by the development of quantum random number generators (QRNG) active in the low intensity (discrete counting) regime in situ in our labs and based on the random character of time delays between clicks collected with a single photon avalanche detector at the output of an attenuated laser source.
