Quantum physics deals with probable states. The interesting thing is that in quantum changes, you can go from one state to the other without going through what is in between.
It has nothing to do with what you believe. If you were to experience a quantum mechanical transition from being alive to being dead, you would do so without going through the dying part.

Nah thats a little off. Think of it in light and dark. If you believe that there is no light, according to quantum physics, to you everything would be in darkness. The key words are "TO YOU" everyone else would be able to see light, but the light would not exist in your world. Most principals of quantum physics are centered around the individuals being. Your life, your existance and so on.

How does this even relate to Physics? Isn't this more of a phylisophical question in which I would answer that believe has nothing to do with it. You think therefore you are. What you think may not be accurate, but that doesn't change the fact that you think it.
So back to your question, how would that work? You believe you do not exist, therefore you don't exist. Is that like the minute you question your existance your particles start to break up for lack of faith? You are no longer constructed of particles, atoms and molecules?
Even in Quantum Physics belief has no part in it. Just like God. He exists no matter if you believe in him or not. If everyone stopped believing in Him he would still be there. Look at the time of Noah. Everyone except Noah and his family forgot about God. He reminded them awful quickly didn't he. That GOD he promissed never to do that again.
Anyway off on a tangent, but that's where your question took me, so that's what you got. I could go on and on, but I don't have an eternity. Unless they have computers in heaven. What do you think?

If you really could convince your autonomic self that you didn't exist then, you would not exist from your point of view (the observer). I've met some strong psychedelic drugs that can cause this type of "ego death".
But in reality, because you do exist, you exist for all outside observers and you are you regardless of the state of knowledge you have of your self.

No, because "observer" =|= "you".
Also, "belief" =|= "experiment results"
I should say that this question is relevant to quantum mechanics philosophy. Although the correct answer is trivial, the question does involve some quasi-controversy, which is similar to certain criticism of Kant's philosophy. This question does deserve deep discussion for educational purposes.

if you think you dont exist you must exist. thinking might make you feel that you do not exist but just proves you are an introvert

I think that , as long as you can think- even subconsciously- you will be alive. You would have to be alive to be thinking, to believe. When your subconscious/mind stops you will not be alive. I don't think anybody can believe themselves into non-existence, or think themselves to death.

is it in quantum physics? or just
a matter of mind over matter?

you don't exist to me now and I'm not a Quantum Physicist.
