Description: The security of any quantum random number generation protocol rests on a set of assumptions. From a theoretical perspective, the weaker the assumptions are the more robust the security proofs is. However, from an industry perspective, it is important that these assumptions can be easily satisfied with realistic devices. At present, we either have fast devices operating protocols with strong assumptions or protocols with mild assumptions running at slow rates. The aim of this project is to provide the theoretical tools to bridge this gap.
