Panpsychism is related to quantum mechanics through theoretical frameworks that integrate the two, such as Michael Lockwood's argument which bridges Russellian philosophy with quantum physics [1], and Mocombe's consciousness field theory which grounds panpsychism in quantum and classical physical principles [2].

Panpsychism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Fall 2015 Edition) plato.stanford.edu 3 facts
claimSome modern panpsychists, beginning with Alfred North Whitehead, have attempted to interpret the indeterminacy found in quantum mechanics as an expression of spontaneous freedom rather than blind chance or mechanical causation.
claimMichael Lockwood developed a version of panpsychism that combines quantum mechanical considerations with the intrinsic nature argument, endorsing the view that the world is a sum of perspectives.
claimMichael Lockwood (1991) developed an argument for panpsychism that combines ideas from Bertrand Russell's later philosophy with an interpretation of quantum physics.
Theories and Methods of Consciousness biomedres.us 2 facts
claimPost-materialists associate the essence of consciousness with panspiritism, cosmopsychism, or panpsychism, which are linked to nonlocal space, absolute vacuum, zero-point, or Akashic fields, and interpreted through the processes and concepts of quantum mechanics.
claimMocombe's consciousness field theory posits that consciousness is nonlocal and persists outside of the brain, incorporating evidence from post-materialism, panpsychism, and reified cosmopsychism grounded in quantum and classical physics.
Critique of Panpsychism: Philosophical Coherence and Scientific ... thequran.love 2 facts
claimPanpsychists note that the criticism regarding the difficulty of testing panpsychism could also apply to other accepted scientific theoretical frameworks, such as interpretations of quantum mechanics or string theory.
perspectiveGalen Strawson and Philip Goff argue that the seeming strangeness of panpsychism is not a decisive strike against it, noting that science has previously accepted counterintuitive ideas like relativity and quantum mechanics.

claimPhilip Goff argues that panpsychism should be considered despite its counter-intuitive nature, drawing parallels to the initial reception of the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and the theory of evolution.
