- Abstract: Local realism has been superseded by recent theoretical and experimental
developments in quantum physics which show a synchronic connection between the
parts. In contrast to the principle of local realism, which is the basis of
classical reductionism, I have called the principle of non-locality at the
basis of a new method of scientific investigation "synchronic principle". The
synchronic principle introduces a new element in the approach to reality, which
with anthropomorphic terms we could call "conscious choice". In a synchronic
paradigm, evolution does not occur in a deterministic way, but is characterized
by a certain intrinsic freedom of choice that we associate with awareness.
Considerations based on the evolution of the universe towards the emergence of
life lead us to think that this "awareness" also exists in the vacuum state: in
the model I proposed a definition of the agents of consciousness in terms of
arrays of correlated qu-bit, from the simplest consisting of 6 qu-bits of the
quantum vacuum (which result as a superposition of 64 base states), up to the
most complex organisms consisting of a very large number of correlated quantum
bits. Some of the fundamental vacuum states of consciousness can be related to
known elementary particles (leptons and quarks) and to fundamental
interactions. The rest constitute purely non-local elements of consciousness
with no counterpart in terms of wave or particle within the local observation
limit. In this model, consciousness processes quantum information through logic
gates and collapses as a result of observations, like a quantum computer does.
Synchronicity does not in deny the conclusions reached by traditional science
can be used at the local level, but opens scientific knowledge to new
possibilities, and invites us to look at the world through a different, not
local awareness.

A classical state-preparation device cannot generate superpositions and hence its emitted states must commute.
We show that no such simulation exists, thereby certifying quantum coherence.
Our approach is a possible avenue to understand how and to what extent quantum states defy generic models based on classical devices.

We derive no-go theorems for quantum experiments realisable in classical background spacetimes.
Our first theorem implies that realisations of ICO processes that do not violate relativistic causality must involve the non-localization of systems in spacetime.
The second theorem shows that for any such realisation of an ICO process, there exists a more fine-grained description in terms of a definite and acyclic causal order process.

Resource theory of imaginarity has been introduced, allowing for a systematic study of complex numbers in quantum mechanics and quantum information theory.
We investigate imaginarity quantification, focusing on the geometric imaginarity and the robustness of imaginarity, and apply these tools to the state conversion problem in imaginarity theory.
Our study reveals the significance of complex numbers in quantum physics, and proves that imaginarity is a resource in optical experiments.

Quantum state evolution accounts for a short-term buffer of experience and contains itself quantum-to-classical and classical-to-quantum information transfers.
Long term memory, on the other hand, is classical, and needs memorization and recall processes that are quantum-to-classical and classical-to-quantum, respectively.
