This theory is based on the idea of quantum entanglement, whereby two particles can remain connected even over long distances. According to this theory, the entangled particles in the brain could interact with each other in such a way that they produce wave functions which could lead to consciousness. Max Tegmark's Quantum Ideas suggest that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe and can be described by a quantum wavefunction. This theory states that the wavefunction describes the state of an entity and its existence, without saying anything about what it is made of. This theory has been criticized for its lack of testability and lack of scientific evidence.
