The Extended Wigner's Friend Scenarios

That's a good question. It would be so if the reversal of the wave function was ideal, meaning that it is evolved with the Hamiltonian...

I can have it both ways, to understand it one just has to be a little bit more precise. First let me define 3 systems I am talking...

Yes, but that's not needed for the extended Wigner friend experiment. The experiment only involves a reversion (or other kinds of...

Of course there is decoherence. The measured quantum system is the friend and her laboratory, but this is measured by Wigner and his...

Of course it is. Clearly, the wave function can be reversed for one or few particles in any interpretation of QM, it must be so because...

That's not entirely true. There are interpretations where decoherence can be reversed (at least in principle) for which AOE still holds...

Yes, universality is a crucial assumption in all those Wigner-friend thought experiments.

The review https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.16220 argues that, among the many extended Wigner-type thought experiments considered recently...

And in post-modern understanding of QM, it's considered to be a reductio ad absurdum showing that objective facts don't exist. 🙃

You seem to be talking about the quantum Zeno effect. If there is a measuring apparatus inside the box which causes the quantum Zeno...

The formalization is not only for its own sake. It's very useful when one has to solve a more complicated problem of the same type. When...

So far nobody formalized it, so let it be me. Let me denote the mass on the left as ##m_1## and the mass on the right as ##m_2##. The...
