Beam splitter + PMT quantum RNG with FPGA debiasing, demoed via Magic 8-Ball.

Strengths
  • Single quantum event detection via beam splitter and photomultiplier tubes, not just /dev/urandom seeding
  • Von Neumann debiasing implemented in FPGA logic for true entropy at every sample
  • Detailed build log documenting failed approaches and why they were abandoned
Weaknesses
  • Primarily a build log, not a reusable tool or library others can adopt
  • QRNG hardware already exists commercially; novelty is in the personal implementation
Category
Target Audience

Hardware enthusiasts, physics hobbyists, FPGA developers
