Trevisan’s extractor

[zhangjiannan]

Bounty type: Code implementation

Language requirements: Any programming language and documentation needs English.

Applicant requirements: From an academic background in computation science or quantum physics.

How to complete the bounty task:

1. Read the provided references to understand the key concepts and fundamentals. You're welcome to read more references that are not listed here.
2. Coding and documentation:
   a. Use any programming language to achieve Trevisan’s extractor for randomness extraction after quantum random number generation. The input is a binary file with random numbers of zero and one, and the length is n. The code intends to extract the randomness to form a length of k*n random numbers, where k is determined by the min-entropy, for example, k=0.2.
   b. A simple documentation is needed to interpret Trevisan’s extractor and the functions and parameters definition and include the references.

Reference materials:

1. https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.87.062327, and references [16, 18] in this paper.
   You are welcomed to search for relevant data/studies on your own apart from the provided reading materials; If other studies were referenced in the research results, please indicate the source.

@DarthRevan07 Hi, I think github obfuscates your real email address. But I suggest you can google "free science paper" and you can find some websites that accept the doi number or url address.
