More randomness from the same data

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Correlations that cannot be reproduced with local variables certify the generation of private randomness. Usually, the violation of a Bell inequality is used to quantify the amount of randomness produced. Here, we show how private randomness generated during a Bell test can be directly quantified from the observed correlations, without the need to process these data into an inequality. The frequency with which the different measurement settings are used during the Bell test can also be taken into account. This improved analysis turns out to be very relevant for Bell tests performed with a finite collection efficiency. In particular, applying our technique to the data of a recent experiment [Christensen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 130406 (2013)], we show that about twice as much randomness as previously reported can be potentially extracted from this setup.
