Wigner's Friend: The Measurement Problem with Quantum Circuits | Paradoxes Ep. 02

Wigner imagined that an observer measures another observer that measures a qubit - revealing a contradiction in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

In this video, Oxford PhD researcher Maria Violaris explains and resolves the measurement problem of quantum mechanics by presenting Wigner's friend using a quantum computer and demonstrates how to simulate the paradox yourself by coding quantum circuits with Qiskit.
