Can you give me some pointers?

Last I heard researches simulated an entire brain of a fruitfly with just a classic neuron approach [0] and if I recall it worked great.

I know a human brain is many orders of magnitude more complex, and that there are some birds that use quantum navigation - so it's certainly not impossible by any stretch, though I am quite interested in this statement since it's the first I hear about it.

If the brain does rely on quantum effects, it's still possible the quantum effects in use are able to be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. For example if it's a matter of signal transfer rather than quantum computation, that could be simulated rather easily.

I wonder what company will release the first "quantum LLM"
reply
Alibaba probably. They are doing work on both already, that is if a quantum LLM is even feasible.

> the brain is quantum

Doesn't that apply to everything that exists in the material world?

reply
Naively-speaking, sure. I think GP was referring to the act of information-processing, specifically, though.
