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.
claimThe rich structures inside proteins, DNA, microtubules, membranes, neurons, and neural networks give rise to entanglement, coherence, and correlation according to quantum information theory.

claimNon-Markovian dynamics preserve quantum information more effectively than Markovian dynamics because non-Markovianity induces a backflow of quantum information from the reservoir to the central spin.
referenceHalpern and Crosson published 'Quantum information in the posner model of quantum cognition' in Annals of Physics in 2019, applying quantum information theory to the Posner model of cognition.
claimThe authors of 'Quantum Models of Consciousness from a Quantum Information...' aim to use quantum information theory to investigate quantum consciousness theories, with a specific emphasis on the Posner model of cognition.
claimIn a tetrahedral geometry (N=4), there is a significant improvement in quantum information preservation compared to other configurations, as it allows for the strongest possible coupling between the central spin and a single dressed buffer spin.
