Which theories have a measurement problem?
read the original abstract
It is shown that any theory that has certain properties has a measurement problem, in the sense that it makes predictions that are incompatible with measurement outcomes being absolute (that is, unique and non-relational). These properties are Bell Nonlocality, Information Preservation, and Local Dynamics. The result is extended by deriving Local Dynamics from No Superluminal Influences, Separable Dynamics, and Consistent Embeddings. As well as explaining why the existing Wigner's-friend-inspired no-go theorems hold for quantum theory, these results also shed light on whether a future theory of physics might overcome the measurement problem. In particular, they suggest the possibility of a theory in which absoluteness is maintained, but without rejecting relativity theory (as in Bohm theory) or embracing objective collapses (as in GRW theory).

A refined Frauchiger--Renner paradox based on strong contextuality
The authors derive a GHZ-FR paradox from strong contextuality that avoids post-selection and quantum reasoning by modeled observers, unlike the original FR paradox.

Are free choices absolute, when internalized in Wigner's friend?
Free choices lack absoluteness in an extended Wigner's friend scenario based on the Pusey-Barrett-Rudolph theorem under locality.

An extended Wigner's friend no-go theorem inspired by generalized contextuality
The Noncontextual Friendliness no-go theorem proves quantum theory incompatible with Absoluteness of Observed Events and Noncontextual Agency, generalizing the Local Friendliness theorem.
