    I'm very much approaching this from a level of "I know what some of those words mean", but is this result surprising that quantum systems lose entanglement at high temperatures? Isn't that the whole point of running quantum computers at very low temperatures?

    So is this another blow for the free will argument based on quantum entanglement that some posited was happening in the brain? It seems this is another nail in the coffin leaving very few arguments other than mostly solipsistic ones.
