This breathtaking clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

In an effort to solve the riddle of why we have subjective conciousness, scientists have develop myriad theories, including ones involving the quantum realm. A new theory suggests that consciousness ...

Nirvanic, says Gildert, is focused on "bridging the gap between AI and consciousness, by building systems that harness quantum mechanics to simulate conscious-like behavior. It's not about creating ...

For the past 30 years, scientists have investigated whether the human brain might require quantum processes to achieve cognition. A new study from Shanghai University uses mathematical models to ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...

Quantum computing is challenging everything we thought we knew about technology, time, and even human consciousness. Some scientists theorize that some of the ways quantum computers process ...

Modern physics has been shaped by great minds, yet somehow physics hasn’t explained what the mind is. For decades consciousness was not a respectable area of inquiry in physics, yet the great quantum ...

BOT or NOT? This special series explores the evolving relationship between humans and machines, examining the ways that robots, artificial intelligence and automation are impacting our work and lives.

A RECENT GROUNDBREAKING EXPERIMENT in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness ...
