Qualia are Quantum Leaps
George Svetlichny

TL;DR
This paper proposes that subjective experience and quantum state reductions are identical, potentially resolving both the quantum measurement problem and the hard problem of consciousness in a unified framework.
Contribution
It introduces a novel hypothesis linking qualia directly to quantum state reductions, offering a new perspective on consciousness and quantum mechanics.
Findings
Suggests a unified view of consciousness and quantum collapse
Proposes that qualia are quantum leaps in the brain
Offers a potential solution to the measurement problem
Abstract
I contemplate the idea that the subjective world and quantum state reductions are one and the same. If true, this resolves with one stroke both the quantum mechanical measurement problem and the hard problem of consciousness.
