Classicality of Consciousness in Quantum Darwinism

Quantum Physics 2022-12-07 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

A simple toy model is proposed that would allow conscious perceptions to be either classical (perceptions of objects without large quantum uncertainties or variances) or highly quantum (e.g., having large variances in the perceived position within a single perception), and yet for which plausible quantum states exhibiting Quantum Darwinism would lead to much higher measures for the classical perceptions.
