Since a quantum computer uses the quantum superposition it works very similare to our brain. Electric impulses are send through many neurons at the same time. Do you think that that might be the key to the human mind? Science answers please and no religious b*** s***

No, you're confusing a parallel computer with a quantum computer. A parallel computer performs many calculations simultaneously using many independent circuits; that's like the brain. A quantum computer performs many calculations simultaneously using *the same circuit* by exploiting quantum indeterminacy. This require a level of coherence far beyond anything neurochemistry is capable of.

There is as yet no quantum computer. There are some quantum phenomena which might be useful some day in a computer. We know a lot about how the brain works biochemically. Quantum physics is not involved at all.
It's a long way between understanding the mechanics of the brain and understanding how that can result in the human mind. By all means, try to understand the brain, the mind, and computers. But at this point, quantum physics won't help you understand any of them.

The human brain is indeed a quantum system, and it is not related to the action of neurons!! The latest hypothesis, is that the quantum effect of the brain could have an origin in the microtubules inside the neurons that act as channels orienting the travel of nanoparticles. The characteristics of those microtubes are believed to generate the quantum effects in the human brain...
So neurons are not alone to work there!!

You can't say yes or no, because not enough info is known. For an example, a key function of the brain is Quantum Tunneling. A quantum computer works by measuring the spins of atoms. Also, Brain works more forucsed on electrons, while a QP would be able to identify atoms spins.

Say rather that a quantum computer is a pale imitation of the human brain.
It is the very randomness of the neuron dispersal in our brains that makes us unique. Unlike machines, where five computers will react the same to the same stimuli, human beings are individuals, and will have five different reactions to the same stimuli.
That's pretty awesome, and provides the widest possible range of reactions ... one of them is bound to work, right?

It's more like a neural network computer.

uhm no i believe brains are way more advanced than any computer.
