Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a real-time quantum random number generator by using a room-temperature single-photon emitter from the defect in a commercial gallium nitride wafer. Due to the brightness of our single-photon emitter, the raw bit generation rate is about 1.8 MHz, and the unbiased bit generation rate is about 420 kHz after the von Neumann’s randomness extraction procedure. Our results show that the commercial gallium nitride wafer has great potential for the development of integrated high-speed quantum random number generator devices.
