ABSTRACT

Generating high-quality random numbers is essential for cryptography, statistical simulations, and cybersecurity. While pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) are computationally efficient, their deterministic nature introduces potential security vulnerabilities. Recent research has explored chaotic systems as entropy sources due to their sensitivity to initial conditions-a key property for randomness generation. An emerging direction involves leveraging chaos in quantum systems. This paper proposes a quantum-inspired PRNG based on the Quantum Kicked Rotor (QKR), a well-known model in quantum chaos exhibiting complex dynamics such as dynamical localization. The method simulates the QKR and extracts pseudo-random sequences through momentum basis measurements. The generated sequences are evaluated for statistical quality, including the NIST 800-22 standard, which passed all 15 test. The sequences exhibit strong non-periodicity, a critical property for secure cryptographic applications. The proposed approach combines the unpredictability of quantum chaos with the scalability of classical simulation, offering a practical and efficient alternative for secure random number generation.
