This paper proposes that human brain function is mediated by quantum biological mechanisms operating at the 12Hz alpha brainwave frequency. Four quantum principles govern human brain function: quantum tunneling, quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, and the quantum observer effect. In contrast, the 14Hz beta brainwave state activates the subcortical primitive brain regions driven by classical biology. This paper presents a unified theoretical framework connecting quantum processes to human brain function.

Human quantum biology is seven quantum principles constantly active in every human being. Quantum tunneling manifests as kindness, personal space, and conscious thought, and reverse quantum tunneling silences the cellular injury response. Quantum superposition is simultaneous awareness across the heart, gut, body, senses, and quantum brain, and reverse quantum superposition is separation of these neurocenters. Quantum entanglement operates as the personal alpha quantum channel, and reverse quantum entanglement eliminates brain decoherence. The quantum observer effect prevents situational stress. Human quantum biology is a distinct science for human research and discovery.
Abstract: This chapter delves into the emerging field of quantum biology, examining how principles such as superposition, entanglement, and tunneling play critical roles in processes ranging from photosynthesis and enzyme catalysis to potential quantum coherence in neural microtubules. By surveying groundbreaking research, including experimental evidence of coherence in photosynthetic complexes and theoretical models of quantum effects in brain function, the discussion highlights both the transformative implications and the ongoing debates shaping this interdisciplinary domain. The chapter ultimately underscores how integrating quantum mechanics into our understanding of life processes can offer novel insights into biological efficiency, consciousness, and the fundamental nature of living systems. Keywords: quantum biology, quantum mechanics, superposition, entanglement, tunneling, photosynthesis, enzyme catalysis, microtubules, brain function, consciousness, quantum coherence, life processes, interdisciplinary research.
As the emerging field of quantum biology matures it is becoming possible to understand the fundamental workings of biological systems at the subatomic level. Understanding the complex function of the brain from this vantage point is no exception. Looking at the subcellular functions of neurons beyond the standard classical mechanisms of chemical and electrical signaling offers the potential to design advanced diagnostics and therapeutics for neurological disorders and mental illnesses based on quantum technologies and could even lead to a more comprehensive understanding of human cognition, behavior, or even consciousness itself. Towards this end there have been many theories proposed for how quantum mechanics may play a role in brain function. However, regardless of how promising these theories are, without experimental evidence to provide validation they are merely interesting conjectures. Here we present a review of current theoretical quantum mechanisms proposed to influence brain function (e.g., spin-based mechanisms, optical mechanisms) and place them in the context of existing experimental evidence. We find that experimental evidence does support quantum mechanisms that may exist in the brain, but significant challenges remain in explaining how such mechanisms may influence processes on relevant biological lengths and timescales. Potential approaches to address these challenges are also discussed.
With the development of quantum mechanics, it is applied to different fields, including biology. As intricate as human brains, quantum physics is replacing classical physics in explaining consciousness-related brain functions. The bilayer phospholipid membrane enables neurons in the brain to store and protect quantum information, and the abundance of 1/2-spin phosphorous creates potential for quantum entanglement that allows information to transfer along long distances and process consciousness. Scientists have used Schrödinger's cat thought experiment to explain how the uncertain and superimposed states in quantum physics can be applied to our decision-making behavior with conditions of "Yes" or "No." Scientists also conducted experiments to witness the quantum entanglement of particles in the brain. The observation of the phenomenon broke the pre-assumption that quantum entanglement is too fragile to occur in the chaotic environment in human brains, and it allows the possibility of ongoing conscious processing there. To further understand the decision-making mechanism, physicists should also integrate the knowledge in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, and other interdisciplinary subjects.
• Using clinical MRI, researchers observed the first indications of a macroscopic quantum entangled state formed by proton spins of water molecules in the living human brain. • By introducing an entanglement witness technique—originally proposed for quantum gravity research—into neuroscience, the team discovered that entanglement signals of proton spins are surprisingly synchronized with Heartbeat-Evoked Potentials (HEPs). • The study provides strong experimental indications that human consciousness, cognition, and brain computational processes are based on non-classical quantum mechanics, confirming that the entanglement-based signals fade away when the subject falls asleep. [Quantum Biology Society] Whether human brain functions, especially consciousness and cognition, are merely the result of classical electrical and chemical signal exchanges between brain cells, or the result of computations akin to a quantum computer based on quantum mechanical principles, has been one of the hottest debates in modern science. While the dominant argument has been that quantum effects would instantly break down in a macroscopic, hot, and wet environment like the brain, a recent study directly capturing strong indications of macroscopic quantum entanglement in the living human brain is exciting the global scientific community. The paper "Experimental indications of non-classical brain functions," published entirely free of charge in the Journal of Physics Communications, contains these remarkable achievements. A research team led by Christian Matthias Kerskens and David López Pérez from the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience (TCIN) in Dublin, Ireland, successfully conducted this groundbreaking experiment. ■ Quantum Gravity Research Techniques Open the Door to Neuroscience To detect quantum effects in the macroscopic environment of the brain responsible for cognitive functions, the researchers made an unconventional attempt by applying an entanglement witness protocol—originally proposed for quantum gravity research—to clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a living human body. MRI measures the proton spins of bulk water in the brain; the researchers highly saturated the magnetization to minimize classical single quantum coherence (SQC) signals, selectively capturing only the target zero quantum coherence (ZQC) signals. ■ Quantum Entanglement in the Brain Synchronized with the Heartbeat The observation results were astonishing. The network of fluid spins (proton spins of bulk water) inside the brain interacted with each other, showing indications of a specific entangled state, and these entanglement-based signal bursts were surprisingly synchronized with the heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs) induced by the subject's heartbeat. These pulsating signals could not be explained by any existing classical MRI contrast techniques. ■ Entanglement Signals Disappear as Consciousness Fades Even more interestingly, these quantum entanglement-related signals appeared strongly only when the subjects were in a state of conscious awareness. When the subjects' consciousness faded, such as when falling asleep, the signals invariably and gradually disappeared. This is a strong experimental indication that macroscopic water proton spins related to brain physiology are mediating entanglement through unknown brain functions, further suggesting that the foundation of human brain computational processes and consciousness could be strictly non-classical. This research leaves open the possibility that the human brain operates effectively like a highly complex quantum computer, and it is expected to bring a groundbreaking paradigm shift in neuroscience, psychology, medicine, and the development of next-generation artificial intelligence in the future.
