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
