I think a sufficiently complex computer could be used to accurately map and model the human mind, even a specific person/personality. After all, it's all just electro-chemical reactions. Our current digital computers won't be able to manage it, but quantum computing...
Yes, I know that quantum computers have been a long time coming and are still at the fringe of computer development, but once EA figures out how to port their crappy games...
I'm not convinced that we need a quantum computer for this task. There doesn't seem to be anything in the brain that really relies on long range quantum superpositions to work..?
