Experimental Evidence of Quantum Randomness Incomputability

Quantum Physics 2010-08-09 v2 Computational Complexity

Abstract

In contrast with software-generated randomness (called pseudo-randomness), quantum randomness is provable incomputable, i.e.\ it is not exactly reproducible by any algorithm. We provide experimental evidence of incomputability --- an asymptotic property --- of quantum randomness by performing finite tests of randomness inspired by algorithmic information theory.
