Description
This grant supports foundational and applied research at the intersection of quantum mechanics and neuroscience. Google seeks proposals that investigate whether quantum phenomena—such as superposition and entanglement—not only exist in neural systems but also play a functional role in neural activity and cognitive functions, beyond what classical mechanisms can explain. The program aims to advance understanding of the brain using cutting-edge technology and foundational science, and to foster collaboration between academia and Google’s research community.
