Chaos makes this effectively impossible to achieve, but: what if you (embedded in the experiment) could achieve the exact same end state via multiple different intermediate states, ie in one case you observed the qubit on, and in the other you observed it off. Now what would you remember?
- wyager 5y agoIf you achieved the exact same end state, then by definition all of those paths would have the same subjective memory. The only way to achieve the exact same end state is if you actually didn't observe the qubit in two different states, or if you forgot about it. Your brain would be the same at the end.
- sideshowb 5y agoAgreed, it would have to be the same subjective memory, and you're right it's not a very interesting question. You'd probably have to either not observe it, or forget about it.
