Title: Quantum Randomness: From Theory to Experiment

Abstract: Randomness seems like a straightforward concept, both intuitively and mathematically. However, this confidence wavers when we consider the physical nature of reality. A simple classical description of the world suggests that everything, no matter how chaotic, is ultimately deterministic. Few would guess that the only way to truly reintroduce randomness into nature is through quantum mechanics, where the probabilistic nature of measurement outcomes is intrinsic to the theory. But how can we observe this in a lab? How can we harness these properties of nature to generate true randomness? In this talk, we will explore the history of Quantum Random Number Generators, examining their complexity and some of their most intriguing properties. The main goal is to understand how we can transition from theory to experiment and ensure that what we observe is genuinely quantum and truly random.
