Wigner’s friend is a thought experiment in theoretical quantum physics that challenges our understanding of quantum theory. The authors present a no-go theorem constraining the structure of probabilities in such a thought experiment and analyze the validity of the three particular assumptions according to various interpretations of quantum mechanics.
