The paper provides a critical assessment of Quantum Artificial Intelligence, roughly the view that the human mind can be effectively simulated by a quantum computer. In particular it raises several independent problems for such a view, namely a supervenience problem, a quantum measurement problem, a decoherence problem and an indiscernibility problem.
Keywords: Mechanicism, quantum computation, artificial intelligence, quantum measurement, decoherence, quantum indistinguishability
