Source-independent quantum random number generators (SI-QRNGs), leveraging the intrinsic randomness of quantum physics, generate secure random sequences without relying on trusted sources. In this study, the authors developed a cost-effective SI-QRNG based on a silicon photonic integrated platform, capable of achieving a maximum generation rate of 9.49 Mbps.
