Quantum information theoretic approach to the mind-brain problem.
Quantum Information in Neural Systems
TLDR
The presented results show that fast decoherence timescales could assist cognitive binding through quantum entanglement across extensive neural networks in the brain cortex, and show that quantum coherence of individual subsystems cannot be used for cognitive binding because it is a physical mechanism that leads to separability and non-interaction.

Toward a physics description of consciousness
This minireview is meant to provide a broad overview of the most basic interpretations of consciousness and of the potential links to fundamental physics, as a complement to the large number of more…

The rapid progress achieved by quantum information science in recent decades was made possible by the realization that genuine quantum phenomena, for which their occurrences are forbidden by…

Virtual Reality for Neurorehabilitation and Cognitive Enhancement
TLDR
This review explores the utility of different types of virtual reality, immersive or non-immersive, for providing controllable, safe environments that enable individual training, neurorehabilitation, or even replacement of lost functions.

Quantum No-Go Theorems and Consciousness
Our conscious minds exist in the Universe, therefore they should be identified with physical states that are subject to physical laws. In classical theories of mind, the mental states are identified…

Computational Theories of Conscious Experience: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Very plausibly, nothing can be a genuine computing system unless it meets an input-sensitivity requirement. Otherwise all sorts of objects, such as rocks or pails of water, can count as performing…
On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox
THE paradox of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen [1] was advanced as an argument that quantum mechanics could not be a complete theory but should be supplemented by additional variables. These additional…

Is the Quantum State (an) Observable
We explore the sense in which the state of a physical system may or may not be regarded (an) observable in quantum mechanics. Simple and general arguments from various lines of approach are reviewed…
Impossibility of deleting an unknown quantum state
TLDR
The linearity of quantum theory does not allow us to delete a copy of an arbitrary quantum state perfectly, and this could in principle be useful in quantum computation, where one could store new information in an already computed state by deleting the old information.
Consciousness
TLDR
Various reflections on the nature of consciousness, partly inspired by Alastair Hannay's views on the subject, suggest that something like consciousness may be the noumenal essence of the physical in general.
