"Quantum brain dynamics" is a physical model of consciousness espoused by a clique of authors that includes people named Umezawa, Jibu and Yasue, Globus, and Vitiello, all of whom are among the contributors to this volume. It draws not upon basic quantum mechanics but upon quantum field theory (!), applied to the electric dipoles of the protein and water molecules present throughout the brain. Whether it could correspond to reality is beyond my ability to judge. Lack of experimental evidence does seem to be as stark as it is for the better-known Penrose/Hameroff (quantum) theory of conciousness.
