Could quantum computation eventually explain the workings of the brain?

A far-reaching question about whether quantum computation could eventually illuminate cognition in depth. For now, it is speculative and remains a reading direction rather than an active research claim.

I am interested in the possibility that quantum information might eventually clarify some aspects of brain function or cognition at a deeper level than current psychological and computational descriptions.

This is a long-range and immature question, not an assumption that the brain is a quantum computer or that cognition requires quantum computation. For now, it belongs to careful reading and skepticism rather than to the main research direction of this site.
