Source-device-independent heterodyne-based quantum random number generator at 17 Gbps

For many applications, quantum random number generation should be fast and independent from assumptions on the apparatus. Here, the authors devise and implement an approach which assumes a trusted detector but not a trusted source, and allows random bit generations at ~17 Gbps using off-the-shelf co...
