Thought experiments on a quantum computer
Users can customize the protocol of the experiment, the inner workings of agents (e.g. the quantum circuit that models their reasoning process), the abstract logical system used (which may or not allow agents to combine premises and make inferences about each other's reasoning), and the interpretation of quantum theory used by different agents (for example collapse, Copenhagen, many worlds or Bohmian mechanics).
The software is written in a quantum programming language, ProjectQ (https://projectq.ch), and as such the simulations of thought experiments can in principle run on quantum hardware. The software is currently in beta version, publicly accessible on GitHub (https://github.com/jangnur/qthought). As an example, we model the Frauchiger-Renner extended Wigner's friend thought experiment, where agents are allowed to measure each other's physical memories, and try to make inferences about each other's reasoning.
