Explore the foundational concepts of modeling agents within quantum theory and its extensions in this 48-minute lecture from the Solstice of Foundations 2025 summer school. Delve into the theoretical framework for understanding how agents operate within quantum mechanical systems, examining the mathematical and conceptual tools needed to describe agent behavior in quantum contexts. Learn from Renato Renner as he presents the first part of a comprehensive exploration into agent modeling, covering the fundamental principles that govern how observers and decision-makers function within quantum theoretical frameworks. Gain insights into the intersection of quantum foundations and agent-based modeling, understanding how classical notions of agency must be reconsidered in light of quantum mechanical principles. Discover the implications for quantum information theory and the broader philosophical questions surrounding measurement, observation, and decision-making in quantum systems.
