Quantum epistemology and falsification of random generators

TL;DR

This paper discusses how quantum epistemology, through the Purification postulate, enables the falsification of random sequence generators, a feat impossible with classical theories, highlighting a fundamental difference between quantum and classical epistemology.

Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective on quantum theory's axiomatization, emphasizing the role of the Purification postulate in falsifying random generators, unlike classical theories.

Findings

Quantum axiomatization provides epistemological rules for falsification.

The Purification postulate uniquely allows falsification of random generators.

Classical theories cannot falsify random sequence generators.

Abstract

The operational axiomatization of quantum theory can be regarded as a set of six epistemological rules for falsifying propositions of the theory. In particular, the Purification postulate-the only one that is not shared with classical theory-allows falsification of random-sequences generators, a task unfeasible classically.
