Classical probabilistic realization of "Random Numbers Certified by Bell's Theorem"

TL;DR

This paper challenges the belief that Bell's theorem-certified random numbers are uniquely quantum, demonstrating they can be generated by classical means, thus questioning their intrinsic quantum randomness.

Contribution

It provides a classical method to generate Bell-certified random numbers, disputing their exclusive association with quantum randomness.

Findings

Bell-certified random numbers can be produced classically.

Classical generators can mimic quantum randomness.

The perceived quantum nature of these numbers is challenged.

Abstract

We question the commonly accepted statement that random numbers certified by Bell's theorem carry some special sort of randomness, so to say, quantum randomness or intrinsic randomness. We show that such numbers can be easily generated by classical random generators.
