QED Coherence and Super-Coherence of Water in Brain Microtubules and Quantum Hypercomputation

Abstract

AbstractThe possibility to explain higher human brain functions as the result of quantum computation is a very fascinating hypothesis considered in a certain number of theoretical studies. Nevertheless, none of these has so far proposed a convincing model able to explain the ultimate origin and the features of such quantum computational schemes. According to our model, water trapped inside brain microtubules can undergo a spontaneous quantum phase transition toward a macroscopic coherent quantum state in which water molecules oscillate in phase with an e. m. field, condensed from quantum vacuum, corresponding to a suitable electronic transition. This implies the arising of macroscopic quantum “Coherent Domains”, in which the oscillating e.m. field is trapped and which shows, at their boundaries, an evanescent-wave-like behavior. We also discuss how the special dynamics of water quantum domains and the hypothesis that microtubule’s walls could show some features similar to those characterizing artificial metamaterials allow a superfast interaction between brain microtubules mediated by a virtual photon tunneling, also determining a sort of super-coherence between microtubules. The resulting interaction network, involving a very high number of quantum objects, could give a novel theoretical basis for explaining the actual origin and features of quantum hyper-computational processes in human brain.KeywordsMacroscopic quantum coherenceWater coherence domainsEvanescent fieldTunnelingMicrotubulesMetamaterialsQuantum hypercomputing
