implications of the brain as a quantum computer?

First off, please bear in mind that I'm simply a sci fi writer trying to wrap my head around all of this. I probably have a very limited and fictional view of what quantum mechanics really means. I've tried to wrap my head around David Bohm but it's just not happening.

I'm trying to design a fictional way for the brain to act as an active quantum computer - rather than a passive one. Passive, for me, meaning that the brain functions as a quantum computer simply to process and store information. Versus an active computer, meaning the brain can interface, encode and manipulate the quantum universe. If an active quantum computing brain can manipulate the quantum universe, what are the implications?

Feel free to poke a billion holes in this and/or my rudimentary understanding of what a quantum mind really would be. That would be very helpful actually. But remember I will probably glaze over if you get ludicrously esoteric.

Thanks!

(be nice! )

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
