Abstract
A method and apparatus for sharing random numbers includes generating pairs of photons at random times, wherein first ones of pairs of photons and second ones of pairs of photons are generated at a same time. The generated pairs are directed to a first pair of receivers during a first time segment. A shared random number is generated using the first pair of receivers during the first time segment. The generated pairs of photons are directed to a second pair of receivers during a second time segment, wherein at least one receiver in the first pair of receivers is different from a receiver in the second pair of receivers. Combs are generated using the second pair of receivers during the second time segment.
