Penrose thinks this (that the brain requires quantum computing), but it doesn't seem like anyone agrees with him or that it makes much sense. If I'm a quantum computer, why can't I do Shor's algorithm in my head?

Of course parts of regular computers involve "quantum stuff", like details of how transistors and hard drives work, but that doesn't mean they're magic.
