Quantum consciousness theory

Quantum consciousness theory suggests that quantum mechanics, the science of the very small, may play a role in how consciousness arises. Proponents believe that the brain's processes could involve quantum phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, allowing for complex information processing beyond classical understanding. This theory posits that consciousness might emerge from these quantum interactions, potentially explaining phenomena like intuition or creativity. However, this idea is highly speculative and controversial, with much debate among scientists about whether quantum effects are relevant to mental processes at all.
