Abstract
A device for generating true random numbers by way of a quantum optic process, the device having a light source for generating at least one single-photon within a light beam; and at least two detectors each for detecting single-photons within the beam thereby providing detector signals; and control means provided and adapted to control generation of a series of single photons and to register the detector signals for generating the true random number values; wherein the detectors for detecting single-photons each including at least one quantum dot; and wherein the detectors are positioned at substantially equivalent spatial position of detection probability of single-photons in the beam.
