This scientist says the human SOUL could be a quantum-like field that interacts with electromagnetic waves, NOT directly with matter, and might survive physical death. In a bizarre 2026 experiment, researchers used a 127-qubit quantum computer during cardiac arrest. Survivors recognized sounds played while they were clinically dead far better under quantum-entanglement conditions than in the control group. In a 2025 paper, Edward Kamen of Georgia Tech and fellow researcher Roger D. Kamen proposed that the human soul might be made of quantum-like fields that interact with the brain through electrical and electromagnetic activity. Kamen even suggests that the soul could interact with photons, the particles of light, potentially explaining why some people report seeing their surroundings during near-death experiences despite having their eyes closed. One case discussed in the paper involved a female physician whose heart stopped during surgery. Although her eyes were taped shut, she later claimed to have seen a senior doctor enter the operating room, a detail reportedly confirmed afterward. And there is an interesting scientific connection. In 2022, MIT-linked neuroscientists found that electric fields generated by neurons carry information about working memory. This does not prove memories can leave the brain, but the Kamens used that finding to propose how a hypothetical soul field might receive information. Then came a striking 2026 study published in The Innovation. Researchers investigated 142 cardiac-arrest survivors across 13 hospitals in Spain and the UK, using a 127-qubit IBM quantum computer to control auditory stimuli presented during resuscitation. They reported that patients exposed to sounds governed by quantum-entangled states performed better on later recall tests than a non-entangled control group, which remained around chance level. The researchers suggested that consciousness might involve processes we do not yet understand. However, they acknowledged that their results do not establish quantum causation. Another 2026 paper in the Journal of Consciousness Studies went further, proposing that consciousness could involve higher dimensions and might not necessarily vanish when the brain stops functioning. The quantum soul theory even explores whether the same field could explain reincarnation, remote viewing, and the possibility of detecting a soul through its interaction with light. Does consciousness really die with the brain, or is the brain only a receiver of something much bigger?
