Randomness? What randomness? Klaas Landsman https://arxiv.org/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Landsman%2C+K > 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 of randomness in > general, I argue that deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics > (like Bohmian mechanics or 't Hooft's Cellular Automaton interpretation) are > strictly speaking incompatible with the Born rule. I also stress the role of > outliers, i.e. measurement outcomes that are not 1-random. Although these > occur with low (or even zero) probability, their very existence implies that > the no-signaling principle used in proofs of randomness of outcomes of > quantum-mechanical measurements (and of the safety of quantum cryptography) > should be reinterpreted statistically, like the second law of thermodynamics. > In appendices I discuss the Born rule and its status in both single and > repeated experiments, and review the notion of 1-randomness introduced by > Kolmogorov, Chaitin, Martin-Lo"f, Schnorr, and others. > > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/everything-list/3ce2b4b2-398d-47ba-a26c-76aeacb7c79fn%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
