Sometimes science is just doesn't apply.  Consciousness hasn't been assigned 
any quantum states nor anything else except possibility the binary off/on 
states.  With reincarnation we have the problem of continuity of 
consciousness, continuation of memory.  Reading some mystical descriptions of 
this, it is not certain that reincarnation includes this.  But then what does 
it include?
... Life after death?  No way, if you're still alive you haven't died yet.
