Zusammenfassung: | The Frauchiger--Renner paradox derives an inconsistency when quantum theory
is used to describe the use of itself, by means of a scenario where agents
model other agents quantumly and reason about each other's knowledge. We
observe that logical contextuality (\`a la Hardy) is the key ingredient of the
FR paradox, and we provide a stronger paradox based on the strongly contextual
GHZ--Mermin scenario. In contrast to the FR paradox, this GHZ--FR paradox
neither requires post-selection nor any reasoning by observers who are modelled
quantumly. If one accepts the universality of quantum theory including
superobservers, we propose a natural extension of Peres's dictum to resolve
these extended Wigner's friend paradoxes. |
