Sam Harris, Sean Caroll and Richard Dawkins made it clear
free will doesn't exist.

If every atom in the Universe was placed in a super computer and reround, the exact same past or future would unfold every time. The cure for tinnitus will not be discovered by the free will of a scientist, and their intellect. It was pre-determined 13.8 billion years ago by physics during the moment of the big bang according to them. They argue chaos effect is an alternative to free will. Dumb particles bouncing around somehow are just under the illusion of being sentient self aware beings.

Quantum physics has been researched for almost a century or so and got no where in terms of connecting it to classical physics.It is still a mystery on what it even does. Just like the
Hard problem of conciousness
or even abiogensis vs the panspermia/extremophile primordial life hypothesis that they don't teach you in biology class.
They are willing to believe quantum physics suggest an infinite amount of parerel universes in order to make our universe look like an an accident of chance. Richard Dawkins literally said he believes there are an infinite amount of Universes and we are in the luckiest one. A cosmic jackpot by chance. Random luck! If anyone suggest consciousnesses and biology has some quantum components, or supports the existence of free will. They say it's "irrational" or "woo" without even looking at the controversy. Visit an atheist/skeptic forum and watch them just shove Sean Carol's skeptic career videos down your throat about how everything they disagree with is quantum woo.
Whenever someone investigates quantum physics via Google search they need to do their homework instead of just believing the first Youtube video from the girl from the discovery channel or these career skeptics that will show up in the top search results. The people handing out Ph.D's in quantum physics won't give you a Ph.D unless you subscribe to their school of thought.
Evidence suggest consciousness is the collapse of the wave function. Time and Space are biological organisms senses just like hearing and smell. Time doesn't exist It's just a measurement tool to make sense of things. We are living in a shared virtual reality. There is so much controversy in this field and the atheist/materalist silence their opponents by calling them crackpots. Classical physics make free will impossible, if the atheist are right then everything scientific achievement ever made was pre-determined 13.8 billion years ago do to an accidental explosion of a primal particle. So the next big discovery in the field of tinnitus research already was pre-determined billions of years ago.
We do not create the material world through observation but I do believe we are in some kind of virtual reality sharing the same consciousnesses.
