Abstract: A new method for efficient, high-quality randomness extraction is presented. The method relies on quantum processes such as the emission of single photons and their subsequent detection, where each detection event has an associated detection time. We show that, by utilising the number of possibilities to arrange a timed quantum measurement sequence, the efficiency can be increased many-fold compared to current methods. The method delivers fundamentally uniform randomness and therefore does not need any post processing or de-biasing.
