Polynomial randomness implies uniform distribution for polynomial-time integer sequences

Let (ai)iN(a_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of distinct integers such that the function mapping the unary input 1j1^j to aja_j is polynomial-time computable. For a real yy, write frac(aiy)\operatorname{frac}(a_i y) for the fractional part of aiya_i y. Uniform-distribution conjecture. For every polynomially random real yy, the sequence

(frac(aiy))iN\bigl(\operatorname{frac}(a_i y)\bigr)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}

is uniformly distributed in [0,1][0,1]. This is a proposed algorithmic-randomness strengthening of Weyl-type uniform-distribution results; the source presents it as a conjectural statement, and its resolution is not supplied.
