What are quantum theorists doing at a conference on consciousness?

arXiv Preprint Archive February 9, 1996 Euan Squires

Orthodox quantum theory necessarily invokes consciousness, which operates outside the laws of physics yet has a real effect on the experienced world. Several methods for introducing the Born probability rule are discussed, with preference given to one where consciousness selects a unique realized world. Orthodox quantum theory also requires that consciousness acts non-locally.
