The relationship between mind and quantum mechanics is defined by ongoing philosophical and scientific debates regarding their ontological connection, as seen in attempts to integrate them into a single framework [1] and the shared mystery surrounding their fundamental nature [2]. Furthermore, researchers explore how quantum physics might inform the mind-body problem [3] and investigate the unresolved roles of mind and matter within quantum interpretations {fact:4, fact:5}.

claimRelativity theory and quantum physics have demonstrated that matter is as mysterious as the mind, challenging the classical definition of matter.
claimQuantum physics currently lacks a consensus on an ontological interpretation, with various proposals suggesting different roles for waves, particles, mind, and matter.
claimThe author proposes that the mind-body problem and the nature of fundamental physical observables in quantum physics both ultimately resolve into questions regarding the ontological roles of mind and matter.
claimThe wave-particle dualism in quantum physics has led to various attempts to integrate the role of mind and matter into a single ontological framework.
claimQuantum physics does not currently explain the nature of mind and matter, how they emerge, or how they are connected.
