Quantum Brain Dynamics. A Possibility of Having a Quantum Interpretation of the Brain
arXiv Preprint Archive June 5, 2023
Summary
Our brains may operate like quantum computers, using principles similar to those powering next-generation technology. Scientists exploring quantum brain dynamics have found that consciousness and memory likely emerge from microscopic quantum processes in neural tissue. These quantum interactions create intricate networks of entangled particles, potentially explaining how our brains maintain ordered states while processing vast amounts of information.
Abstract
What Quantum Brain Dynamics (QBD) considers is not just these other functions of the brain, this is because they can be well analyzed with the workings of classical mechanics (even though they still play host to a quantum description). It rather considers two specific functions above all else consciousness and memory. QBD falls in line umbrella-covers aspects of the quantum brain analysis such as quantum-consciousness, quantum-mind and quantum-brain. The inspiration that lurks behind the Quantum Interpretation of the Brain (QIB), is traceable to the 1944 article written by E. Schrodinger, What is Life, in which he presents how a living organisms evades decay to equilibrium by the fact of negentropy, as such life which is in its ordered macroscopic state is created (in an environment of disorder), which moves against the second law of thermodynamics. The life that is created, that which is sustained, arises from an interaction that the organism engages in with the environment. This interaction is microscopic, albeit quantum, it is an interaction that underscores the reality of quantum entanglement (which also plays hosts to the superposition of quantum states). The quantum interpretation of the brain is a nascent, yet burgeoning as it might be that necessary tool required for a better articulation and comprehension of the brain.
