Quasar

QUASAR is a project hosted by the University of Padova and funded by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo

The main objectives of QUASAR are:

• The development of new theoretical and experimental methods for the realization of ultra-fast and secure Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) which are based on quantum mechanical principles (the intrinsic randomness of quantum measurements is at the basis of QRNGs);
• Their implementation by photonic integrated systems towards miniaturization and market exploitation;
• the use of the generated numbers for scientific simulations and cryptographic applications.
