Abstract:
We describe a protocol for generating random numbers based on the existence of quantum violations of a free Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality, namely CHSH-3. Our method uses semidefinite programming relaxations to compute such violations. In a standard setting the CHSH-3 inequality involves two separated qutrits and compatible measurement, that is, commuting with each other, yielding the known quantum bound of $1+\sqrt{11/3} \approx 2.9149$. In our framework, $d$-dimensional quantum systems (qudits) where $d$ is not fixed a priori, and measurement operators possibly not compatible, are allowed. This loss of constraints yields a higher value for the maximum expectation of the CHSH-3 inequality. Based on such upper bound on the violation of CHSH-3, we develop a random number generator of type prepare-and-measure, but with one part.
