Measurement-device-independent randomness certification by \emph{local} entangled states

Nonlocal correlations obtained from entangled quantum states are useful for device independent (DI) randomness certification [Nature (London) 464, 1021 (2010)]. The advantage of this DI protocol over the conventional quantum protocol is that even with untrusted experimental apparatus randomness can be certified. Although quantum entanglement is the necessary physical source for nonlocal correlation, these two are different concepts. There exist entangled states which produce no nonlocal correlation and hence are not useful for the DI randomness certification task. In this work we introduce measurement-device-independent randomness certification task and show that entangled states, having local description, can be useful resource in such task which otherwise are useless in corresponding DI scenario.
