Explore a thought-provoking conference talk examining whether Integrated Information Theory (IIT) can address the paradox of Wigner's friend. Delve into the possibility of superpositions of conscious states, analyzing IIT's latest extension and its implications for quantum mechanics. Learn about the development of an operator model for Q-shapes and its combination with a generalized collapse model, revealing how collapse rates depend on more than just the distance between Q-shapes. Gain insights into the structure of IIT and its quantum extension, as the speaker presents collaborative work that makes progress towards answering Wigner's original question about the nature of consciousness and quantum superposition.
