Quantum computers are Turing equivalent, they can compute anything a classical computer can. 2. Human brains are believed to operate according to physical laws, all known of which are computable. 3. Humans are conscious. 4. By any of: Chalmers's principle of "Organizational invariance", or "multiple realizability", or the "Generalized Anti-Zombie Principle", or the "computational theory of mind", a functionally equivalent computation to that of a conscious human brain will be equivalently conscious to that brain. 5. Quantum computers are reversible. By 1 & 2, a quantum computer can simulate a human brain. By 3 & 4, such an emulation will be conscious. By 5 any computation performed by a quantum computer can be quantum erased by reversing the circuit back to its starting state. It reaches a definite decision by virtue of completing its processing before ultimately being reversed. This prevents an outside observer from learning the decision, but it's made nonetheless during the course of the processing.
