Entanglement in bipartite systems has been applied to generate secure random numbers, which are playing an important role in cryptography or scientific numerical simulations. Here, we propose to use multipartite entanglement distributed between trusted and untrusted parties for generating randomness of arbitrary dimensional systems. We show that the distributed structure of several parties leads to additional protection against possible attacks by an eavesdropper, resulting in more secure randomness generated than in the corresponding bipartite scenario. Especially, randomness can be certified in the group of untrusted parties, even when there is no randomness in either of them individually. We prove that the necessary and sufficient resource for quantum randomness in this scenario is multipartite quantum steering when each untrusted party has a choice between only two measurements. However, the sufficiency no longer holds with more measurement settings. Finally, we apply our analysis to some experimentally realized states and show that more randomness can be extracted compared with the existing analysis.
两体系统中的纠缠已被用于生成安全随机数,这些随机数在密码学或科学数值模拟中发挥着重要作用。在此,我们提议利用分布在可信方和不可信方之间的多体纠缠来生成任意维度系统的随机性。我们表明,多方的分布式结构能额外抵御窃听者可能的攻击,从而产生比相应两体情形下更安全的随机性。特别地,即使单个不可信方都没有随机性,也能在不可信方群体中验证随机性。我们证明,当每个不可信方仅在两种测量之间进行选择时,此情形下量子随机性的充要资源是多体量子导引。然而,测量设置更多时,充分性不再成立。最后,我们将我们的分析应用于一些实验实现的态,并表明与现有分析相比,可以提取更多的随机性。
