The Quantum Mechanics of Consciousness

The quantum mechanics of consciousness explores the idea that some aspects of our awareness may involve quantum phenomena—such as particles existing in multiple states simultaneously or instant connections over distances. Theories suggest that processes like neural activity could harness these quantum effects, potentially explaining aspects of cognition, perception, or consciousness itself. While the field is still speculative and debated among scientists, it offers a fascinating perspective that biological systems might perform quantum computations or link deep physical principles to the emergence of conscious experience.
