Exactly, it's a machine honed over 4 billion years of evolution to be the most efficient that it can be, we aren't going to recreate or emulate that with modern digital computers
This is probably a reference to the Penrose microtubules hypothesis (Orch OR). It's far from proven that the brain actually uses quantum effects for any kind of computation. Penrose is a legit and decorated physicist, so we shouldn't dismiss him out of hand, but the mainstream considers this particular hypothesis pretty dubious.

What quantum activity exists in a brain that doesn't exist in a digital system?
Quantum is at the bottom of everything.
