Quantum Superpositions of Conscious States in a Minimal Integrated Information Model.
Entropy (Basel, Switzerland) April 1, 2026 Kelvin J. McQueen, Ian T. Durham, Markus P Müller
Could there be quantum superpositions of conscious states, as suggested by the Wigner's friend thought experiment? Mathematical theories of consciousness, notably integrated information theory (IIT), make this question more precise by associating physical systems with both quantitative amounts of consciousness and structural characterizations of conscious states. Motivated by a recent proposal...
