It is usually said that quantum physics contains an intrinsic form of randomness with no classical analogue, but what does this exactly mean? And how can this intrinsically quantum randomness be detected and quantified? The talk first explains that there are two inequivalent notions of randomness: stochastic and private. We then present a framework for the certification of private randomness and use it to show that quantum physics allows for the generation of private randomness, while this is classically impossible. We finally conclude with recent results quantifying the private randomness of quantum states and measurements.
