Quantum mechanics and algorithmic randomness
A long sequence of tosses of a classical coin produces an apparently random bit string, but classical randomness is an illusion: the algorithmic information content of a classically-generated bit string lies almost entirely in the description of initial conditions. This letter presents a simple argument that, by contrast, a sequence of bits produced by tossing a quantum coin is, almost certainl...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Randomness , Quantum Physics , and Incompleteness C
Is randomness in quantum mechanics “algorithmically random”? Is there any relation between Heisenberg’s uncertainty relation and Gödel’s incompleteness? Can quantum randomness be used to trespass the Turing’s barrier? Can complexity shed more light on incompleteness? In this paper we use variants of “algorithmic complexity” to discuss the above questions.

متن کاملQuantum Chaos, Classical Randomness, and Bohmian Mechanics
Department of Mathematics Rutgers University New Brunswick, NJ 08903 Abstract. It is argued that dynamical chaos in quantum mechanics arises solely from the collapse rule applied in measurements. As such it is quite distinct from classical (deterministic) chaos, which arises from the dynamical law itself. It is shown, however, that if the particles of a quantum system are regarded as “real,” i....
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics, Randomness, and Deterministic Reality
We describe and analyze a new formulation of Bohmian mechanics—the deterministic theory of particles in motion that emerges from Schrödinger’s equation for a system of particles when we merely insist that “particles” means particles. This mechanics resolves all paradoxes associated with the measurement problem in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. It accounts for quantum randomness, absolute un...
