Quantum Information Research Supports Consciousness as Information
نویسنده
چکیده
The "energy" dominance in physics has made it difficult to develop widely accepted theories of mind that explains consciousness and intention. Recent research in the unification of quantum gravity theories for black holes has proven that information is primary to the structure of quantum mechanics and therefore introduces an "It from Bit" perspective for the universe that has relevance for consciousness.

Decoherence effects on quantum Fisher information of multi-qubit W states
Quantum fisher information of a parameter characterizing the sensitivity of a state with respect to parameter changes. In this paper, we study the quantum fisher information of the W state for four, five, six and seven particles in decoherence channels, such as amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarizing channel. Using Krauss operators for decoherence channels components, we investigate t...
متن کاملExploring Impacts of Consciousness-raising in a Genre-based Pedagogy
This study reports on the findings of a genre teaching course for developing academic writing of a class of EFL students in Iran. The information report genre was taught in a cyclical way of teaching and learning, which was started from ‘setting the context’ and ‘deconstruction’ of prototype information report genre, and continued with ‘joint construction’, ‘independent construction’, and final...
متن کاملConsciousness as a State of Matter
We examine the hypothesis that consciousness can be understood as a state of matter, “perceptronium”, with distinctive information processing abilities. We explore four basic principles that may distinguish conscious matter from other physical systems such as solids, liquids and gases: the information, integration, independence and dynamics principles. If such principles can identify conscious ...
متن کاملThe Institute for Systems Research
We explore the connection between the mind and the brain. We propose that consciousness is the consequence of processing information and that the solution to the binding problem does not entail quantum mechanical coherence or entanglement. We argue for an alternative inspiration from quantum mechanics and quantum field theory based on time-energy uncertainly: not to reduce consciousness to a qu...
متن کاملA New Approach to the Hard Problem of Consciousness: A Quasicrystalline Language of “Primitive Units of Consciousness” in Quantized Spacetime (Part I)
The hard problem of consciousness must be approached through the ontological lens of 20 th century physics, which tells us that reality is information theoretic [1,2] and quantized at the level of Planck scale spacetime[3]. Through careful deduction, it becomes clear that information cannot exist without consciousness – the awareness of things. And to be aware is to hold the meaning of relation...
