Quantum Cryptography
Entropy rate is a measure of the average uncertainty or randomness per unit of time in a stochastic process, often expressed in bits per second. It indicates how much information is produced by a source of randomness, reflecting the efficiency and unpredictability of that source. Understanding entropy rate is crucial for evaluating the performance of quantum random number generators and their effectiveness as entropy sources in cryptographic applications.
