QRNG -> Quantum Random Number Generator

Dazu muss man wissen, dass alle "Zufallszahlen" von Computern nicht wirklich zufällig sind. "Pseudorandom" (dabei wird zum Beispiel die derzeitige Uhrzeit in Milisekunden durch einen Wert geteilt und der Rest ist dann die "Zufallszahl"). Es gibt auch RNGs die Hardwareentropie benutzen (die kann man nicht ohne weiteres vorhersagen, aber eigentlich sind sie auch nicht "zufällig"). Die einzige wirkliche Zufallsgröße (bis jetzt) sind Quanten. Da diese z.B. zufällig von einer Oberfläche reflektiert oder absorbiert werden. QRNG sind damit nach heutigen Stand totsicher und könnten helfen, Verschlüsselungsverfahren, welche Zufallszahlen brauchen, zu verbessern.


Der Chip soll nur 2x2mm groß werden


Elmos and ID Quantique join forces to develop the world's smallest Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) solution


Leverkusen, Germany / Geneva, Switzerland, January 8, 2025:

Opening 2025 as the “International Year of Quantum Science and

Technology”, Elmos Semiconductor SE, a leading supplier of automotive

mixed-signal semiconductors and ID Quantique, a global leader in quantum

cybersecurity, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as a

basis for their strategic collaboration to develop the world's smallest

monolithically integrated Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) solution.


With cybersecurity threats increasing due

to the rapid rise of AI and quantum computing, the need for safe and

robust encryption is strongly growing. Random numbers, a cornerstone of

secure cryptography, are increasingly vulnerable when generated by

traditional methods such as Pseudo Random Number Generators (PRNGs) or

True Random Number Generators (TRNGs). The innovative QRNG single chip

solution developed by Elmos uses quantum principles based on in-chip

photoemission to generate the highest quality randomness, ensuring

unparalleled cryptographic security. This Elmos solution is inherently

robust against any type of cyber attacks (i.e. variation of temperature,

supply voltage, light, physical pressure or EMC).


The partnership between Elmos and ID

Quantique combines Elmos' expertise in high-quality semiconductor

development and production with ID Quantique's leadership in quantum

technologies. Together, they are developing a 2 mm x 2 mm QRNG module,

making it the smallest Quantum Random Number Generator in the world.

Early prototypes confirm that the IC delivers an exceptional

cost-performance ratio with ultra-low power consumption and extremely

short start-up time. This QRNG technology allows scalable key rates and

will be made available as a stand-alone IC or by Intellectual Property

(IP) licensing to broaden its application across various industries and

CMOS technologies. This collaboration underscores Elmos' and ID

Quantique's commitment to innovation in the field of cybersecurity. With

their solutions, both partners make an important contribution to

building a secure digital infrastructure for automotive, communication

and IoT industries, ensuring long-term security in the quantum-era.
