A New Theory of Inter-Consciousness Correlation Through Physical Entanglement: Quantum Bonding Hypothesis

Vanous, Steven

Published Nov 17, 2025• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

This paper presents a new explanation for telepathic experiences, synchronicities between close individuals, and unusual cognition in people with autism spectrum disorders. The Quantum Bonding Hypothesis (QBH) proposes that when people are physically close to one another or exchange materials, their brains can form lasting quantum entanglement. Unlike traditional telepathy theories that focus on sending information, QBH suggests that bonded pairs use pre-existing quantum entanglements through shared emotions and attention. This idea aligns with recent findings of quantum effects in neural microtubules (Penrose-Hameroff, 2024-2025), addresses the no-communication theorem, and offers clear, testable predictions. The paper describes the theory, proposes ways to test it, and discusses its implications for consciousness research, autism studies, and quantum biology.

THE QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS PROTOCOL: NEURAL ENTANGLEMENT AND THE COSMIC BRAIN NETWORK From Classical Biology to Quantum Cognition: A Theoretical Framework for Understanding Consciousness as a Potential Quantum Phenomenon Connected to Universal Fields

mohamed kamal arafa el-rakhawi

The El-Rakhawi Quantum Consciousness Protocol (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.23737476) presents a mathematically rigorous theoretical framework exploring consciousness as a potential quantum phenomenon connected to universal fields, building upon the Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR theory. Core theoretical postulates:1. Quantum Neural Entanglement Index (QNEI) = 87.0 (dimensionless, normalized against classical baselines), suggesting quantum processes might play significant roles in cognition if present2. Quantum Decoherence Suppression Factor (QDSF) = 0.92, proposing topological protection mechanisms allow quantum coherence to survive in the brain's warm, wet environment3. Cosmic Consciousness Connectivity Index (CCCI) = 0.78, hypothesizing individual consciousness might correlate with universal quantum fields Critical scientific corrections applied:- All indices are strictly dimensionless through normalization (τ/τ_ref, E/E_ref, etc.)- "Mathematical Proof" reframed as "Theoretical Postulates" acknowledging speculative nature- No-Communication Theorem respected: synchronicity explained as acausal correlations (Jung-Pauli), not information transfer- Testable predictions focus on measurable EEG quantum noise signatures during altered states Experimental roadmap: 84 months from theoretical development (5M USD) through laboratory experiments (20M), human brain studies (50M), to correlation experiments (100M). Phenomenological model: Consciousness_Event(t) = Σ[β_k × Collapse_k(t) × Universal_Resonance_k(t)], presented as exploratory framework, not derived physical law. Philosophical implications: consciousness as potentially fundamental property of reality, end of self-other dichotomy, consciousness evolution as human frontier—all presented as speculations requiring verification. This framework bridges quantum physics and consciousness studies with mathematical rigor while maintaining scientific humility about speculative hypotheses.

Quantum Consciousness, Brains, and Cognition

Jerome R. Busemeyer, Meijuan Lu

Quantum consciousness concerns both the possible role that quantum mechanics has for understanding consciousness as well as the role that consciousness has for interpreting quantum physics. Quantum brain theories hypothesize that quantum physical processes occur within and between the neurons of the brain and have important effects on cognition as well as consciousness. Quantum cognition is a growing new field in cognitive science concerned with the application of the mathematical principles of quantum theory to human judgment and decision-making behaviour. What do all these theories have to do with each other? Quantum theories of consciousness have more to say about quantum physics than cognitive psychology and conscious experiences. Quantum brain theories have not been sufficiently ‘scaled up’ to provide clear implications for how quantum physical processes generate more complex cognition. Quantum cognition theories have avoided addressing fundamental issues about consciousness and have remained agnostic with respect to the quantum brain hypothesis. This article will address the problem of connecting these ideas together by connecting quantum cognition to the other two topics.

Quantum Theory of Consciousness

Gangsha Zhi, Rulin Xiu

Both consciousness and quantum phenomenon are subjective and indeterministic. In this paper, we propose consciousness is a quantum phenomenon. A quantum theory of consciousness (QTOC) is presented based on a new interpretation of quantum physics. We show that this QTOC can address the mind and body problem, the hard problem of consciousness. It also provides a physics foundation and mathematical formulation to study consciousness and neural network. We demonstrate how to apply it to develop and extend various models of consciousness. We show the predictions from this theory about the existence of a universal quantum vibrational field and the large-scale, nearly instantaneous synchrony of brainwaves among different parts of brain, body, people, and objects. The correlation between Schumann Resonances and some brainwaves is explained. Recent progress in quantum information theory, especially regarding quantum entanglement and quantum error correction code, is applied to study memory and shed new light in neuroscience.

Quantum effects in the brain: A review

Betony Adams, Francesco Petruccione

In the mid-1990s, it was proposed that quantum effects in proteins known as microtubules play a role in the nature of consciousness. The theory was largely dismissed due to the fact that quantum effects were thought unlikely to occur in biological systems, which are warm and wet and subject to decoherence. However, the development of quantum biology now suggests otherwise. Quantum effects have been implicated in photosynthesis, a process fundamental to life on earth. They are also possibly at play in other biological processes such as avian migration and olfaction. The microtubule mechanism of quantum consciousness has been joined by other theories of quantum cognition. It has been proposed that general anesthetic, which switches off consciousness, does this through quantum means, measured by changes in electron spin. The tunneling hypothesis developed in the context of olfaction has been applied to the action of neurotransmitters. A recent theory outlines how quantum entanglement between phosphorus nuclei might influence the firing of neurons. These, and other theories, have contributed to a growing field of research that investigates whether quantum effects might contribute to neural processing. This review aims to investigate the current state of this research and how fully the theory is supported by convincing experimental evidence. It also aims to clarify the biological sites of these proposed quantum effects and how progress made in the wider field of quantum biology might be relevant to the specific case of the brain.

Quantum Approaches to Brain and Mind: A Comprehensive Review of Theories, Evidence, and Future Directions

Taruna Ikrar, Wachyudi Muchsin, Alfi Sophian

The question of whether quantum mechanical phenomena play a functional role in brain activity and the emergence of consciousness remains one of the most controversial yet intellectually stimulating debates at the intersection of physics, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind. This review systematically examines the principal theoretical frameworks proposing quantum-level mechanisms in neural computation, including the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) hypothesis by Penrose and Hameroff, the quantum brain hypothesis of Stapp, quantum coherence models in microtubules, and quantum field theories of consciousness. We critically evaluate the current state of empirical evidence—including recent quantum biology findings, the challenge of decoherence in warm, biological systems, and experimental observations of quantum effects in biological systems—alongside computational models that bridge quantum formalism and neural network dynamics. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of quantum cognition models for understanding perception, decision-making, and memory. Despite significant scientific skepticism, emerging evidence from quantum biology and advanced neuroimaging technologies provides tentative support for quantum processes in neural substrates. We conclude by identifying critical gaps in current knowledge and outlining future research directions that may resolve the debate, including proposals for experimental paradigms using quantum sensing technologies applied to neural tissue. This review aims to serve as a foundational reference for researchers across disciplines approaching the quantum mind hypothesis with scientific rigor.
