Anyone familiar with Quantum Mechanics and Psychology?

I’ve been paying attention to quantum mechanics, and they are trying to make a quantum computer. These are not only the fastest computers theoretically, but they would change the entire world and beyond. They are so much faster.

The problem they have is called Quantum Decoherence, and the problem is that the atoms in the quantum computer won’t stay stable, so that they will compute solid, rationale outputs.

Well, all things including our bodies and minds are quantum physics, or it would not be possible to be alive. I wonder if there is a quantum decoherence problem in the problem of schizophrenia.

Any thoughts?

I just did a quick search, and I found this journal:

Quantum computation and Schizophrenia

I can’t post a link to it, but I just googled Quantum Schizophrenia.

I once had a delusion similar to this and I believed that my mind was being infiltrated by nano bots through nano technology and quantum mechanics. All this because my ex was a scientist who worked with nano technology.

One shrink I know called a thing “quantum psychology”

The brain measuring itself, limited in its ability to measure itself by itself

I’m just saying because everything is governed by quantum mechanics, and if rational computations in quantum computers can’t be had because of quantum decoherence among the qubits, then perhaps this is the problem for psychology.

The article to the title I posted there talks about how the microtubules in the brain are deficient, so the neurons are exposed. This exposure hypothetically results in quantum decoherence, thus the irrational mind computations that are then categorized as psychosis.

Here is another:

Using Quantum Physics to Explain Thoughts & Behaviors
By Rick Nauert PhD

Dr. Zheng Joyce Wang, an associate professor of communication and director of the Communication and Psychophysiology Lab at the Ohio State University.

“Whenever something comes up that isn’t consistent with classical theories, we often label it as ‘irrational.’ But from the perspective of quantum cognition, some findings aren’t irrational anymore. They’re consistent with quantum theory and with how people really behave.”

Just google the titles to these articles and the authors.

From what I hear, the potential of quantum computers is stupendous, but there have to be several technological breakthroughs before they will become practicable. That’s good, because we probably need to sit down and think real hard about the implications of these computers before we start making them.

Most of what I did in quantum mechanics was map probabilities of different functions given certain parameters. It was a while ago so I don’t remember much other than quantum tunneling and things like measuring which states things were in using dirac notation. However unless I’m mistaken most of the quantum effects cancel themselves out in a way that you arrive at the typical classical representation of things. This it kinda illustrated usually in the dirac delta function. Outliers kinda get diminsed in importantance as N increases. I’m not a neuroscientist but I would think that the scale is large enough to use classical mechanics, chemistry, biology, and other such systems to explain them. I don’t remember much from the times when the brain was explained to me but don’t they usually explain the Na+, Ca+, and Cl- neurotransmitters by using chemistry. Maybe whichever way that things are recorded in the brain explain it. I have a weird image in my brain on how neurons work but I don’t remember enough to explain it.

here is a good article on quantum decoherence.
http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~tim/open/main/node2.html

To me from what I have studied is that everyone what to fit everything in a nice, little box of explainable. You can’t hide it under the rug as they say and think all will be well. I think the bigger issue is trying to turn quantum realm into the classical for our needs when we should be doing the opposite.

It is not the issue of decoherence that is the problem - it is the whole outlook of the perceived problem. For me the sz mind is not a pitfall or something to be fixed. I think it is a natural progression forward into realms Science has not even begun to comprehend. If left alone we will naturally move forward. From the microbe to walking man from sz to transporting to other realms. It is nature’s law. They just look at it wrong.

Occam’s Razor: Me and thee are just plain nuts. It would be nice to have some better sounding explanation for my problems that makes me a superior being existing across multiple realities (as per Fringe, X-Files, etc.), alas, this is not the case.

My current quest is to become a flavour of nut that no one is allergic to. A challenge, but not an insurmountable one, I hope.

Welcome to the forums. :slight_smile:

But what is the fun in that?
We could all just be pods like in ‘body snatchers’ or ‘stepford wives’ as well, but that is not the answer. Yes, outwardly there seems to be many benefits - no difference of opinion, no war, no arguments. Human nature requires uniqueness to exist, to advance or progress forward in development. There would have to be some ‘allergies’ to find new discoveries or what is there to discover.

Thanks for your replies. I like a lot of replies.

The one thing I keep coming back to in this is the idea that an scz brain has a lower Alpha Wave Frequency than the common brain. The Earth and Universe also work at a lower frequency, and the hypothesis is that we have frequencies low enough to match the lower waves of the environment all around us, therefore we tap into parallel universe etc.

To talk about that in the fashionable terms that surround classical reality this subject is just weird, ay. To talk about it in fashionable terms that surround quantum mechanics, this subject is the most interesting topic to talk about these days no matter who’s there.

In my most practical opinion the ability to function independently in the most classical sense of reality and classical terms that society is based on is paramount because it is so difficult to function in the real world otherwise. Once anchored firmly here from that practical vantage point, spelunking into the depths of this subject is necessary for everyone especially everyone in the categories we find ourselves in which bring us to this board.

These are some youtube educational video titles and who made them below the titles. Any kind of new ideas from this anyone can generate would really be appreciated by more than just myself obviously.

Enjoy. ****The Theory of Everything and **Conscious Mechanics are the ones that are most beneficial in my opinion.

Wow, I think u guys r on to something when talking about sz and quantum mechanics. I like the perspective of realizing that in the mind of the sz something goes wrong with the amount of dopamine secreted by the cells and the cells r made up of atoms and so quantum
Mechanics comes into play some how. Maybe if we can control or change the way the neurons r firing at a more functional level maybe the mind of the sz wil b healthier. What do u guys think?
