The influences of system parameters on TDS suppression(characterized by autocorrelation function(ACF) and permutation entropy(PE) around characteristic time) and chaos BW are investigated. The results show that, with the increasing bias current, the ranges of parameters(detuning and injection strength) for the larger BW(> 20 GHz) are broadened considerably, while the parameter range for optimized TDS(< 0.1) is not shrunk obviously.Under optimized parameters, the system can simultaneously achieve two chaos outputs with enhanced BW(> 20 GHz)and perfect TDS suppression. In addition, the system can generate two-channel high-speed truly physical random number sequences at 200 Gbits/s for each channel.展开更多

Recently, a realistic noise-tolerant randomness amplification protocol using a finite number of untrusted devices was proposed. The protocol has the composable security against non-signalling eavesdroppers and could produce a single bit of randomness from weak randomness sources, which is certified by the violation of certain Bell inequalities. However, the protocol has a non-ignorable limitation on the min- entropy of independent sources. In this paper, we further develop the randomness amplification method and present a novel quantum randomness amplification protocol based on an explicit non-malleable two independent-source randomness extractor, which could remarkably reduce the above-mentioned specific limitation. Moreover, the composable security of our improved protocol is also proposed. Our results could significantly expand the application range for practical quantum randomness amplification, and provide a new insight on the practical design method for randomness extraction.展开更多

The spectrum of the YRFL has a relatively broad bandwidth(0.35 nm) and the lasing temporal intensity shows random fluctuations without cavity induced time-delay signatures(TDS),which are essential for ultra-high speed random bit generation. The chaotic signal and its time-delayed signal sampling at40 Giga samples per second(GS/s) are converted to digital 8-bit signals. By selecting 5 least significant bits from each 8-bit digital signal and using bitwise exclusive-OR operation, we experimentally achieve 200 Gbps physical random bit generation based on ytterbium-doped random fiber laser with the verified randomness. The combination of broadband emission and free of TDS makes random fiber lasers new promising sources for high performance random bit generation in a simple and compact configuration, which has a great potential in cryptography and secure communication applications.展开更多

According to the principle of moving sound source identification, this work deduces the basic non-equidistance coaxial circular rings＇ radius, and generates target random arrays which were suitable for moving sound source identification through array partitioning, condition filtering in the polar coordinates and simulation evaluation. Finally, numerical simulation and moving car sound source identification test have been done. The analytical results show that using this method to generate random array is effective. Compared with the traditional regular arrays, the target random array has more accurate moving sound source identification performance.展开更多

However, there are only a small number of existing power system test cases, and validation and evaluation results, obtained using such a limited number of test cases, may not be deemed sufficient or convincing. In order to provide more available test cases, a new random graph generation algorithm, named ‘‘dualstage constructed random graph’’ algorithm, is proposed to effectively model the power grid topology. The algorithm generates a spanning tree to guarantee the connectivity of random graphs and is capable of controlling the number of lines precisely. No matter how much the average degree is,whether sparse or not, random graphs can be quickly formed to satisfy the requirements. An approach is developed to generate random graphs with prescribed numbers of connected components, in order to simulate the power grid topology under fault conditions. Our experimental study on several realistic power grid topologies proves that the proposed algorithm can quickly generate a large number of random graphs with the topology characteristics of real-world power grid.展开更多

Using the autocorrelation function and pernmtation entropy as the TD measures, we demonstrate that under suitable coupling strength, the loss of the TD signature of the lasers in the RTUC-SL configuration is achieved both for the intensity and the phase. These findings should prove valuable for developing high-quality optical chaos for potential applications, such as chaos-based communica- tions and random number generation.展开更多

文摘A ring of three unidirectionally coupled semiconductor lasers （RTUC-SLs） is used to generate broadband chaos with no pronounced time-delay （TD） signature. Using the autocorrelation function and pernmtation entropy as the TD measures, we demonstrate that under suitable coupling strength, the loss of the TD signature of the lasers in the RTUC-SL configuration is achieved both for the intensity and the phase. These findings should prove valuable for developing high-quality optical chaos for potential applications, such as chaos-based communica- tions and random number generation.
