Cognitive decisions are best described by quantum mathematics. Do quantum information devices operate in the brain? What would they look like? Fuss and Navarro () describe quantum lattice registers in which quantum superpositioned pathways interact (compute/integrate) as 'quantum walks' akin to Feynman's path integral in a lattice (e.g. the 'Feynman quantum chessboard'). Simultaneous alternate pathways eventually reduce (collapse), selecting one particular pathway in a cognitive decision, or choice. This paper describes how quantum walks in a Feynman chessboard are conceptually identical to 'topological qubits' in brain neuronal microtubules, as described in the Penrose-Hameroff 'Orch OR' theory of consciousness.
认知决策最能被量子数学描述。量子信息设备在大脑中运作吗?它们会是什么样子?Fuss 和 Navarro()描述了量子晶格寄存器,其中量子叠加路径相互作用(计算/整合),就像费曼在晶格中的路径积分一样(例如“费曼量子棋盘”)。最终,同时的替代路径会减少(坍缩),从而在认知决策或选择中选择一条特定的路径。本文描述了费曼棋盘上的量子游走与彭罗斯-哈梅罗夫“OR 意识”理论中大脑神经元微管中的“拓扑量子位”在概念上是如何相同的。
