  What about if you then feed that into a DRBG?

Our protocol extracts randomness from unpredictable non-local quantum correlations, and uses distributed intertwined hash chains to cryptographically trace and verify the extraction process. This protocol forms the basis for a public traceable and certifiable quantum randomness beacon that we have launched. FWIU also there are already QRNG or QTRNG based upon photonic speckle pattern interference; LEDs and a photodiode and an FPGA or an RP2040 or better.
