Abstrakt: We construct a class of three-dimensional photonic quantum random number generators (QRNGs) and prove that each of them generates maximally unpredictable digits via measurements that are robust to errors. This shows that every sequence generated is strongly incomputable; hence its quality is provably better than that of every pseudo-random sequence. These results suggest that incomputability in physics is real and practically applicable. Finally, we present photonic implementations of three-dimensional QRNGs and discuss device independence.
