Background

The Sleeping Beauty problem is attracting growing attention among physicists and philosophers. There are at least 6 Manifold markets that refer to it.

Question

The answer to the problem may depend on whether classical or quantum physics is considered. Some claim that the answer is 1/3 in the quantum setting (see https://doi.org/10.1093/analys/ant072 and references therein).

Is the answer really 1/3 in the quantum physics setting?

Resolution

As I have a preferred position on this issue, I ask Manifold moderators on to resolve this question once widespread consensus is reached. If no consensus is reached before the market closing time, this should resolve to N/A.
