available in the other Eigen states of the superposition state. As quantum systems are extremely sensitive systems, they are easily disturbed by the so called "decoherent factors" or noise.
In Indian philosophy, two types of knowledge are discussed. They are known as vidhya (known as paroksha jnana or ordinary knowledge) and para vidhya (known as pratyaksha jnana or superior knowledge). It appears that vidha may be the classical information of today and the para vidhya may be the quantum information. The recent arguments that subconscious mind works on the basis of quantum information (working as a quantum computer), hence it is in agreement with the ancient literature that actual knowledge is hidden from us and is much more than what appears at the observable level. Also one gets classical information from quantum information through the process of objective reduction, hence the ultimate source of information or knowledge could be para vidhya

Concept of rebirth, Karma theory, concept of Paap and Punya
Theory of past karmas and that of pap and punya can be easily explained now since information stored in the space time geometry of a person has records of all the past births and can influence the working of brain at very micro level and similarly the deeds performed in the present birth also leave some information in its space time geometry, which will influence the next births and so on.
India has great spiritual traditions and our rishi munies and aacharyas have gone into vast details and have practically experienced several dimensions of reality, not yet explored in the modern science. Once the mechanism of information flow between human brain and the space-time geometry is understood properly, theory of karmas and pap punya will be explored in a more rational way.

Full awakening of chetna
There is lot of emphasis in Jainism for a need to have a fully awakened chetna (awareness) of oneself to have more and more active information/knowledge at one's command. The current models of brain and consciousness clearly explain this property in terms of larger and larger connectivity among a very large number of neurons and synapses (and hence tubulins also) with minimum noise level (or decoherence). Probably in a fully awakened state, total quantum information is also available at one's command
