Quantum information theory is used as a framework to model neural mechanisms, where memory is defined as unique entangled states [1] and protected by quantum error correction codes [2]. Researchers apply these specific quantum information principles to study the biological processes of memory in the brain {fact:1, fact:2}.

claimThe human brain utilizes quantum error correction codes to protect memory, where synapses in a neuron hold copies of the same quantum information, allowing errors caused by environmental decoherence to be corrected or reduced.
claimFrom the perspective of quantum information theory, memory corresponds to unique new entangled states, and phase transitions correspond to new coherent states.
claimGangsha Zhi and Rulin Xiu apply quantum information theory, specifically quantum entanglement and quantum error correction code, to study memory and neuroscience.
claimThe authors of the Quantum Theory of Consciousness paper propose applying quantum information theory, specifically insights regarding quantum entanglement and quantum error correction codes, to study neural networks in the brain to better understand mechanisms such as memory.
