Algorithmic Randomness and Quantum Mechanics, 31 August – 1 September 2026, Kraków

By Wuthrich

Call for abstracts is open for the workshop “Algorithmic Randomness and Quantum Mechanics”, to be held in Kraków, 31.08.-1.09.2026. Submission deadline is 28.06.2026.

Submissions concerning any aspect of the relationship between algorithmic randomness and Quantum Mechanics are invited, including (but not limited to) the following questions and topics:

  • Does Quantum Mechanics involve algorithmic randomness?
  • Does the answer to this question depend on the choice of interpretation of Quantum Mechanics? In particular, can deterministic interpretations of Quantum Mechanics be reconciled with quantum events/measurement outcomes being random?
  • Does discussion of the relationship between algorithmic randomness and Quantum Mechanics shed light on other issues in the philosophy of science, such as laws of nature, interpretations of probability etc.?
  • Algorithmic randomness in quantum experiments and technology, including random number generators
  • Algorithmic randomness vs. other senses of randomness in physics
  • Generalisations of the standard concept of algorithmic randomness and their relevance for physics
