Since you seem to talk  philosophy, let me translate what you say for
our friends the scientists.

If we assume that mind is a Multiple Quantum Superposition, and if we
assume that mind can exploit those quantum superpositions to process
information, then the mind can process information at the rate of a
quantum computer.

That implication seems to me quite reasonable.

Test of the theory according to which a human mind is a Multiple
Quantum Superposition:


1) show me a human as good as a quantum computer for finding a needle
in a haystack.

Could you show me a quantum computer that can do that? I guess that it exist only in dreams of theoreticians (on in that part of Platonia that the humankind cannot access).

That's an argument of the kind "only bird can fly". I was alluding to a well now ability of QC. And to pretend that a brain/mind can do quantum computing would endow a brain/mind with this abilities.

Grover L.K. Qunatum Mechanics helps in searching for a needle in an haystack. Physical Review Letters, 78: 325-328, 1997a. Quant-phys/ 9605043.

The fact that QC does not yet exist does not invalidate the argument.
