Quantum consciousness theory is fundamentally linked to quantum mechanics as it posits that quantum processes are responsible for conscious experience [1]. Proponents argue that consciousness requires a quantum framework rather than classical physics [2], with specific applications like the Beck-Eccles model applying standard quantum mechanics to biological processes [3], and debates surrounding the theory often center on the interpretation of quantum mechanics itself [4].
