abstract
True random number generators (TRNGs) underpin modern cryptography, yet existing implementations face fundamental trade-offs between speed, scalability, and entropy quality. Here, we demonstrate that stochastic switching in the bistable regime of spin-wave dynamics provides a physical entropy source for high-quality random number generation. Our magnonic random number generator (mRNG), based on a lithography-patterned microstrip on yttrium iron garnet (YIG), exploits thermal fluctuations near the nonlinear bistable regime to generate random bitstreams that pass all 15 NIST SP 800-22 statistical tests at rates with 20 Mb/s. We implement a random-bit multiplier using synchronized mRNG units and demonstrate scalability to 200-nm-wide nanoscale waveguides, establishing spin-wave bistability as a viable physical entropy source for integrated random number generation.
