The quantum theory elaborated in the 20th century revolutionised the way we describe the world at the atomic scale. It told us that phenomena and measurements made on single particles can be completely unpredictable. Recently it has been realised that these effects could be very useful for generating the random numbers and secret keys that are needed in the cryptographic applications that protect IT systems and networks. This project is developing chip-based technologies for generating random numbers and keys and integrating them into demonstrator systems for secure communications. As these devices can be manufactured cheaply in large numbers, it will allow us to take these innovative new quantum technologies out of the lab and into everyday life.

20世纪阐述的量子理论彻底改变了我们在原子量规模上描述世界的方式。它告诉我们，对单个粒子进行的现象和测量可能是完全不可预测的。最近，已经意识到，这些效果对于生成保护IT系统和网络的加密应用程序中所需的随机数和秘密键可能非常有用。该项目正在开发基于芯片的技术，以生成随机数和键，并将其集成到证明器系统中以进行安全通信。由于这些设备可以廉价地以大量的价格制造，因此它将使我们可以将这些创新的新量子技术从实验室中带出实验室并进入日常生活。
