Randomness? What Randomness?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Foundations of Physics"
DOI: 10.1007/s10701-020-00318-8
Abstract: This is a review of the issue of randomness in quantum mechanics, with special emphasis on its ambiguity; for example, randomness has different antipodal relationships to determinism, computability, and compressibility. Following a (Wittgensteinian) philosophical discussion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11128-025-04773-y
Abstract: In the device-independent scenario, positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) can certify more randomness than projective measurements. This paper self-tests a three-outcome extremal qubit POVM in the X-Z plane of the Bloch sphere by achieving the maximal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jneumeth.2018.03.015
Abstract: BACKGROUND Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows for the measurement of functional connectivity of the brain. In this context, graph theory has revealed distinctive non-random connectivity patterns. However, the application of graph theory to fMRI… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/fms.2017.27
Abstract: We use concepts of continuous higher randomness, developed in Bienvenu et al. [‘Continuous higher randomness’, J. Math. Log. 17(1) (2017).], to investigate $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1}_{1}^{1}$ -randomness. We discuss lowness for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1}_{1}^{1}$ -randomness, cupping with $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1}_{1}^{1}$ -random sequences,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41534-019-0208-1
Abstract: The entropy or randomness source is an essential ingredient in random number generation. Quantum random number generators generally require well modeled and calibrated light sources, such as a laser, to generate randomness. With uncharacterized light… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-16431-0
Abstract: Quantum entanglement in magnetic materials is expected to yield a quantum spin liquid (QSL), in which strong quantum fluctuations prevent magnetic ordering even at zero temperature. This topic has been one of the primary focuses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-13135-8
Abstract: High-quality randomness is fundamental to the security of modern cryptographic systems. We present QPP-RNG, a true random number generator (TRNG) that harvests entropy from diverse system-level jitters–including CPU pipeline timing divergences, DRAM refresh cycle perturbations,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/1.5094936
Abstract: The randomness of chaos comes from its sensitivity to initial conditions, which can be used for cryptosystems and secure communications. The Lyapunov exponent is a typical measure of this sensitivity. In this paper, for a… read more here.
