Quantum theories of consciousness are frameworks that explicitly define consciousness as a quantum phenomenon or process, as evidenced by [1], [2], and [3]. These theories, such as the QTOC described in [4], attempt to explain the nature of consciousness through quantum mechanics, a classification further supported by the academic categorization in [5] and [6].

claimGangsha Zhi and Rulin Xiu propose that consciousness is a quantum phenomenon in their 2023 paper 'Quantum Theory of Consciousness'.
claimIn the Quantum Theory of Consciousness (QTOC), consciousness is dependent on detectors, while awareness is attributed to the activation and use of those detectors.
claimThe authors propose a Quantum Theory of Consciousness (QTOC) based on a new interpretation of quantum physics, suggesting that consciousness is a quantum phenomenon and that solving the quantum measurement problem can lead to solving the hard problem of consciousness.

claimThere are three basic types of quantum approaches to consciousness: (1) consciousness is a manifestation of quantum processes in the brain, (2) quantum concepts are used to understand consciousness without referring to brain activity, and (3) matter and consciousness are regarded as dual aspects of one underlying reality.
