Quantum Randomness and Kolmogorov Complexity: Why True Randomness Can't Be Positively Verified

A discussion explores how quantum measurements can yield strings whose Kolmogorov complexity is uncomputable, yet Martin-Löf random sequences cannot be generated by any algorithm—and we can never positively verify that quantum processes are truly random rather than compressible by a better theory.
