Quantum Sources

Quantum sources provide entropy from explicitly quantum physical processes.

Sources

Section titled “Sources”
  • qcicada — Crypta Labs QCicada USB QRNG (photonic shot-noise source)

Operational Notes

Section titled “Operational Notes”
  • Requires compatible USB hardware.
  • Mode controls are available for raw/conditioned/sample output paths.
  • OpenEntropy uses QCicada fresh-start continuous mode for collection, discarding already-buffered device input once after mode entry and avoiding reuse of the one-shot ready_bytes buffer between reads.
