Mbit/s-range alkali vapour spin noise quantum random number generators - DATASETS

Two example datasets. Each dataset consists of 2 files; one, where spin noise is present in the spectrum (noise_on.npy) and one, where spin noise is absent (noise_off.npy). The former is used generate random numbers, while the latter is used to 1. find a baseline threshold \Sigma, as described in the paper, and 2. to find the spin noise spectrum. 

The spin noise spectrum can be found by subtracting the spectra of the first and second file, as it is only present in the first file. Every dataset should be filtered around the Larmor frequency prior to any bit generation. The width of the band-pass filter should be such that the entirety of the spin noise spectrum is contained.

Bit generation is to be done by protocols described in the paper "Mbit/s-range alkali vapour spin noise quantum random number generators". All bitrates are calculated at \Sigma = 5 \sigma, where \sigma is the standard deviation of noise_off.npy for the given experiment.

Cs12: Sample rate 50 MHz.  Measured at a temperature of approximately 140 degrees C.  The Larmor frequency is approximately 670 kHz. There is a large induced gradient present in the system, so the spin noise spectrum is not a Lorentzian shape, but is spread with a full-width half max of 500 kHz . Protocol 1 raw bitrates are approximately 40 kb/s, whereas protocol 2 raw bitrates are approximately 2.40 Mb/s.

Cs14: Sample rate 100 MHz. Spin noise measurement (noise_on.npy) has 1G samples (16 bit signed). Background measurement (noise_off.npy) has 10M samples (16 bit signed). Measured at a temperature of approximately 140 degrees C. The Larmor frequency is approximately 440kHz  ,T2 is approximately 2e-6 s. This is the dataset presented in the paper. Protocol 1 raw bitrates are approximately 40 kb/s, protocol 2 raw bitrates are approximately 1.97 Mb/s.
