Introduction

Human brain, often regarded as one of nature's most intricate computational systems, demonstrates remarkable abilities in information processing, adaptability, and creative problem-solving. Meanwhile, quantum mechanics, with its principles of superposition and entanglement, introduces a groundbreaking perspective on computation and information processing. Quantum-Brain aims investigate whether these two domains intersect in ways that could redefine our understanding of consciousness, decision-making, and even the nature of reality itself. In this project, we focuses on mapping the connections between quantum mechanics and the neural systems of the human brain. Additionally, it leverages quantum theories to develop advanced deep learning models that shed light on brain functionality. By bridging the quantum mechanics with neuroscience, this project represents a step toward decoding the mysteries of the mind and unlocking the next generation of scientific innovation.
