>A certain phenomenon of consciousness is demonstrated to be fully represented as a computational process using a quantum computer. Based on the computability criterion discussed with Turing machines, the model constructed is shown to necessarily involve a non-computable element.
So, the universe contains uncomputable physics?
Some aspect of quantum computing is uncomputable (beyond mere exponential slowdown in a classical simulation)?
Edit: those two claims are at least as interesting as anything about consciousness, but much more amenable to further study!
