It has always been obvious to me that consciousness is something that sits outside the computational realm because if it wasn’t, you would end up with self-contradictions, much like Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Intuitively, this would be related to quantum mechanics, as this is a part of physics which does not seem to be fully computational (ie. have things which we can only describe as random). The problem with using quantum computing to explore this is that quantum computers, as they are now, use quantum phenomena that can be fully modelled computationally.
