The brain and quantum entanglement are linked through theoretical frameworks that propose using quantum information theory to model neural processes, as seen in [1], [2], and [3], which explore the potential for quantum mechanisms to explain memory and information transport within the brain.

claimTo function as a quantum computer, the brain's mechanism must meet five criteria: possess a long nuclear-spin coherence time to function as a qubit, have a method for transporting qubits throughout the brain and into neurons, include a molecular scale quantum memory for storing qubits, contain a mechanism for quantum entangling multiple qubits, and initiate a chemical reaction that triggers quantum measurements to determine neuron firing rates.
claimSimulating quantum entanglement is a proposed approach to explore potential interactions between different regions of the brain.
