We study the optimization of any quantum process by minimizing the randomness in the measurement result at the output of that quantum process. We conceptualize and propose a measure of such randomness and inquire whether an optimization of the quantum process based on that measure, can reach the point where the process operates with maximum fidelity. We consider approximate quantum cloning and teleportation processes, and find, in particular, that the optimal approximate state-dependent quantum cloning machine obtained by maximizing the fidelity is different from that obtained by minimizing the randomness.

Coherently manipulating multipartite quantum correlations leads to remarkable advantages in quantum information processing. A fundamental question is whether such quantum advantages persist only by exploiting multipartite correlations, such as entang lement. Recently, Dale, Jennings, and Rudolph negated the question by showing that a randomness processing, quantum Bernoulli factory, using quantum coherence, is strictly more powerful than the one with classical mechanics. In this Letter, focusing on the same scenario, we propose a theoretical protocol that is classically impossible but can be implemented solely using quantum coherence without entanglement. We demonstrate the protocol by exploiting the high-fidelity quantum state preparation and measurement with a superconducting qubit in the circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture and a nearly quantum-limited parametric amplifier. Our experiment shows the advantage of using quantum coherence of a single qubit for information processing even when multipartite correlation is not present.

If quantum mechanics is taken for granted the randomness derived from it may be vacuous or even delusional, yet sufficient for many practical purposes. Random quantum events are intimately related to the emergence of both space-time as well as the id entification of physical properties through which so-called objects are aggregated. We also present a brief review of the metaphysics of indeterminism.
The advantages of quantum random number generators (QRNGs) over pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) are normally attributed to the nature of quantum measurements. This is often seen as implying the superiority of the sequences of bits themselves generated by QRNGs, despite the absence of empirical tests supporting this. Nonetheless, one may expect sequences of bits generated by QRNGs to have properties that pseudo-random sequences do not; indeed, pseudo-random sequences are necessarily computable, a highly nontypical property of sequences. In this paper, we discuss the differences between QRNGs and PRNGs and the challenges involved in certifying the quality of QRNGs theoretically and testing their output experimentally. While QRNGs are often tested with standard suites of statistical tests, such tests are designed for PRNGs and only verify statistical properties of a QRNG, but are insensitive to many supposed advantages of QRNGs. We discuss the ability to test the incomputability and algorithmic complexity of QRNGs. While such properties cannot be directly verified with certainty, we show how one can construct indirect tests that may provide evidence for the incomputability of QRNGs. We use these tests to compare various PRNGs to a QRNG, based on superconducting transmon qutrits and certified by the Kochen-Specker Theorem, to see whether such evidence can be found in practice. While our tests fail to observe a strong advantage of the quantum random sequences due to algorithmic properties, the results are nonetheless informative: some of the test results are ambiguous and require further study, while others highlight difficulties that can guide the development of future tests of algorithmic randomness and incomputability.
Pseudo-random number generators are widely used in many branches of science, mainly in applications related to Monte Carlo methods, although they are deterministic in design and, therefore, unsuitable for tackling fundamental problems in security and cryptography. The natural laws of the microscopic realm provide a fairly simple method to generate non-deterministic sequences of random numbers, based on measurements of quantum states. In practice, however, the experimental devices on which quantum random number generators are based are often unable to pass some tests of randomness. In this review, we briefly discuss two such tests, point out the challenges that we have encountered and finally present a fairly simple method that successfully generates non-deterministic maximally random sequences.
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 proper ty --- of quantum randomness by performing finite tests of randomness inspired by algorithmic information theory.
