Abstract

Applications of randomness such as private key generation and public randomness beacons require small blocks of certified random bits on demand. Device-independent quantum randomness can produce such random bits, but existing quantum-proof protocols and experimental implementations suffer from high latency, requiring hours to produce any random bits. We demonstrate device independent quantum randomness from a loophole-free Bell test with a much more efficient quantum proof protocol, obtaining multiple blocks of 512 bits in less than 5 min of experiment time on average and with certified error bounded by 2^-64}=5.4x10^-20}.
