The origins of conscious experience remain elusive, despite increased interest due to advancements in AI. This article proposes that consciousness arises from quantum mechanical superpositions, suggesting that their structure influences the quality of experiences. It also addresses the binding problem and agency. A research program is outlined to experimentally test this theory, potentially leading to enhanced human consciousness through brain-quantum computer interfaces.
