The traditional interpretations of quantum mechanics

Research gap analysis derived from 4 physics papers in our local library.

The gap

The traditional interpretations of quantum mechanics do not consider the role of consciousness in the measurement process. The need for a new framework that includes the observer's consciousness as a fundamental aspect of physical systems.

Evidence profile

  • Qualia from quantum magic: a quantum resource approach to phenomenal consciousness (2026) · Frontiers in Physics · doi

    The hard problem of consciousness remains one of the most important open problems in science. Current theories of consciousness have limitations and gaps in their explanations. The Qualia-from-Quantum-Magic Hypothesis aims to address this gap.

  • Qualia from quantum magic: a quantum resource approach to phenomenal consciousness (2026) · Frontiers in Physics · doi

    Further research is needed to test and refine the Qualia-from-Quantum-Magic Hypothesis. Studies should investigate the relationship between quantum mechanics and consciousness in more detail. The development of new experimental and theoretical approaches may be necessary to fully understand the implications of this hypothesis.
