Kochen-Specker Theorem Revisited and Strong Incomputability of Quantum Randomness

Year: 2012

Type: preprint

Abstract: We present a stronger variant of the Kochen-Specker theorem in which some quantum observables are identified to be provably value indefinite. This result is utilised for the construction and certification of a dichotomic quantum random number generator operating in a three-dimensional Hilbert space. Key words: Kochen-Specker theorem, value indefiniteness, quantum random generator
