Quantum Field Theory and Consciousness
Kuantum Alan Teorisi ve Bilinç Sultan TARLACI, MD
Abstract
Quantum field theory is the application of quantum mechanics to fields. It
provides a theoretical framework, widely used in particle physics and
condensed matter physics, in which to formulate consistent quantum
theories of many-particle systems, especially in situations where particles
may be created and destroyed. Jibu & Yasue were the first researchers that
tried to popularize the quantum field theory of Nambu-Goldstone bosons as
the one and only reliable quantum theory of fundamental macroscopic
dynamics realized in the brain with which a deeper understanding of
consciousness can be obtained. This theory was originated by Ricciardi &
Umezawa (1967) in a general framework of the spontaneous symmetry
breaking formalism, and since then developed into a quantum field
theoretical framework of brain functioning called quantum brain dynamics
and that of general biological cell functioning called quantum biodynamics.
There, Umezawa proposed a general theory of quanta of long-range
coherent waves within and between brain cells, and showed an outstanding
mechanism of memory storage and retrieval in terms of Nambu-Goldstone
bosons characteristic to the spontaneous symmetry breaking formalism.
