claimGangsha Zhi and Rulin Xiu propose that consciousness is a quantum phenomenon in their 2023 paper 'Quantum Theory of Consciousness'.

claimThe quantum measurement problem concerns how observed, subjective quantum phenomena arise from an objective and indeterministic quantum field described by a probabilistic wavefunction.

claimClassical physics provides a sufficient description of quantum phenomena when the observation scale is much larger than the time scale of the quantum vibrations associated with the phenomena, effectively averaging over possible quantum states.

claimQuantum phenomena, such as wavefunction overlap, quantum tunneling, and the uncertainty of location and momentum, are responsible for the sun shining.

claimClassical physics, including Newtonian mechanics and electromagnetics, is the accumulative average of quantum phenomena and is derivable from quantum physics.

claimIn quantum physics, a wavefunction describes the probabilities of an object existing in certain states, and observed quantum phenomena depend on the observer.

claimQuantum phenomena and consciousness share a subjective and non-deterministic nature, which serves as a primary reason to apply quantum physics to the study of consciousness.

claimQuantum theories of consciousness posit that the basis of consciousness exists at the micro-physical level of quantum phenomena rather than the neural level.

claimPsychiatrist Ian Marshall proposed a model explaining the coherent unity of consciousness by suggesting the brain produces a physical state similar to a Bose-Einstein condensate, a quantum phenomenon where a collection of atoms acts as a single coherent entity.
