This wiry mass proves for the first time that we can predict the most likely way in which a
quantum system will
collapse — and perhaps, one day, control it
In
quantum systems inside the neuron, Hameroff and Penrose argue that it's each
collapse of the wave function that yields a conscious moment.
Traditional
quantum mechanics says that a physical
system doesn't have definite properties until it's observed — an act known as
collapsing a wave function.
One of the great challenges is to overcome the sensitivity of
quantum systems to decoherence,
collapse of superpositions.
Any attempt to measure the
system would
collapse its delicate
quantum state, just as chasing dolphins in a boat would affect their behavior.
It sought a complementarity between thermodynamics and
quantum mechanics by means of star - hermitian operators and the view that it is the instability of a physical
system that is responsible for the amplification and
collapse of the wave function.
