Quantis RNG - True Random Number Generator

QUANTIS

True RANDOM NUMBER Generator Exploiting QUANTUM PHYSICS

QUANTIS is a physical random number generator exploiting an elementary quantum optics process. Photons - light particles - are sent one by one onto a semi-transparent mirror and detected. The exclusive events (reflection - transmission) are associated to "0" - "1" bit values. The operation of Quantis is continuously monitored to ensure immediate detection of a failure and disabling of the random bit stream.

The product comes in three versions: a PCI card, a USB device and an OEM component. The product delivers best-in-class random bit rate of up to 16Mbps.

RANDOM NUMBERS FROM QUANTUM ORIGIN

Although random numbers are required in many applications, their generation is often overlooked. Being deterministic, computers are not capable of producing random numbers. A physical source of randomness is necessary. Quantum physics being intrinsically random, it is natural to exploit a quantum process for such a source. Quantum random number generators (QRNG) have the advantage over conventional randomness sources of being invulnerable to environmental perturbations and of allowing live status verification.

QUANTIS IS OFFICIALL CERTIFIED

QUANTIS has been evaluated and certified by the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology (also known as METAS), the Swiss national organization in charge of measurement science, testing and compliance. It confirmed that the quality of its random output complies with the highest requirements. See the Certificate of Conformity and read the Test Report.

QUANTIS has also been approved by the Maltese Lotteries and Gaming Authority and it can be used for all operations in this jurisdiction, Europe's most dynamic location for remote gaming.

REFERENCE RNG IN THE GAMING AND LOTTERIES INDUSTRY

Thanks to its reliability, the quality of its random output and its certification, the Quantis product line has rapidly become the reference random number generator for the demanding gaming and lottery industry.


Quantis-PCI has been approved by GTECH GTech, the leading gaming technology company based in the United States, has subjected the Quantis-PCI product to an in-depth evaluation procedure. The Quantis-PCI product is now "ES Approved", meaning that it meets its demanding reliabilty and quality requirements and is compatible with the world's leading lottery solutions.		Quantis provides randomness to BetCruise BetCruise, a virtual "Gambling Fleet" providing a broad range of online games relies on Quantis as its sole source of randomness. Visit BetCruise for more information.		Quantis used to shuffle card by poker4ever poker4ever, a leading online poker cardroom, based its card shuffler on the Quantis random number generator.

WHAT MAKES QUANTIS
A UNIQUE RANDOM
NUMBER GENERATOR (RNG) ?

Quantis uses Quantum Physics to create truly-random numbers
Existing randomness sources can be grouped in two classes: software solutions, which can only generate pseudo-random bit streams, and physical sources. In the latter, most random generators rely on classical physics to produce what looks like a random stream of bits. In reality, determinism is hidden behind complexity.
Contrary to classical physics, quantum physics is fundamentally random. It is the only theory within the fabric of modern physics that integrates randomness. Quantis uses this property to generate random numbers from quantum origin.

Quantis generates random numbers at a very high bit rate
Contrary to existing products, Quantis produces random numbers at a very high bite rate up to 16Mbps. This is the highest truly-random bit rate available to date.

Quantis continuously does a status check
The processing unit of Quantis performs a live verification of its functioning. Thanks to this feature, users can have a high level of trust in the random numbers they are using.
