Randomness in quantum mechanics: philosophy, physics and technology.
This progress report covers recent developments in the area of quantum randomness, which is an extraordinarily interdisciplinary area that belongs not only to physics, but also to philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and technology. For this reason the article contains three parts that will be essentially devoted to different aspects of quantum randomness, and even directed, although not ...
متن کاملQuantum 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 کاملQuantum Mechanics and Political Philosophy
Quantum mechanics has been utterly successful as a physical description of the sub-astronomic. It has led to unprecedented technological accomplishments, such as microprocessors, modern pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials. It has revealed compelling theoretical insights into nature, such as the reality of the atom and the understanding of its properties both isolated and as a part of compou...
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...
