Design Automation of Single Photon Counting Method for Quantum Random Number Generation

EDU-QCRY1 is one of the quantum key distribution devices in order to generate quantum random bit. In this paper, we conduct a mechanism to produce a key sequence based on single photon counting using EDU-QCRY1 Single Photon Detector module for receiving data which can be acquired using the receiver’s device automation using a Light Dependent Resistor parameter. The design of quantum random generator is using protocol of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) then compared to true table of the BB84 protocol. The average speed of the quantum bit in the automation device is 0.0604 seconds with estimation for 10
⁶
quantum random bit around 16 hours experiment. Within the random bits, some difference occurs when the sender and receiver have a different basis. This research proves the efficiency of automation bit storage on the EDU-QCRY1 Single Photon Detector for generating a quantum random bit and has the valid result as the experiment in performing key distribution simulations using EDU-QCRY1 devices.
