Are we quantum computers? International collaboration will investigate the brain’s potential for quantum computation

Phys.org  March 27, 2018
QuBrain project at UCSB is a collaborative project among an international team of leading scientists spanning quantum physics, molecular biology, biochemistry, colloid science and behavioral neuroscience to seek explicit experimental evidence to answer whether we might in fact be quantum computers. They will explore neuronal function with state-of-the-art technology from completely new angles. QuBrain has the potential for breakthroughs in the fields of biomaterials, biochemical catalysis, quantum entanglement in solution chemistry and mood disorders in humans, regardless of whether quantum processes indeed take place in the brain… read more.
