I am going to assume that you are actually interested in knowing the Metaphysical Implications of QM and start off by stating that it is no coincidence that QM like Metaphysics in relation to the mind/body problem starts off with the problem of Dualism.
In this case the problem of Wave/Particle Duality.
The question of whether QM has Metaphysical Implications is based on QM Interpretations
"An interpretation of quantum mechanics is a set of statements which attempt to explain how quantum mechanics informs our understanding of nature. Although quantum mechanics has held up to rigorous and thorough experimental testing, many of these experiments are open to different interpretations. There exist a number of contending schools of thought, differing over whether quantum mechanics can be understood to be deterministic, which elements of quantum mechanics can be considered "real", and other matters." Wikipedia
Now already by discussing what is "real" you are entering into a question of Metaphysics.
The problems inherent in all Interpretations of QM are Metaphyiscal in nature.
"Problems of interpretation
The difficulties of interpretation reflect a number of points about the orthodox description of quantum mechanics, including:
The abstract, mathematical nature of that description.
The existence of what appear to be non-deterministic and irreversible processes.
The phenomenon of entanglement, and in particular the correlations between remote events that are not expected in classical theory.
The complementarity of the proffered descriptions of reality.
The role played by observers and the process of measurement.
The rapid rate at which quantum descriptions become more complicated as the size of a system increases."
So we already are bringing in an observer and have a problem of Dualism but do we have a Phenomenological problem as we do in Metaphysics?
According to at least one Interpretation we do
"The de Broglie—Bohm theory of quantum mechanics is a theory by Louis de Broglie and extended later by David Bohm to include measurements. Particles, which always have positions, are guided by the wavefunction. The wavefunction evolves according to the Schrdinger wave equation, and the wavefunction never collapses. The theory takes place in a single space-time, is non-local, and is deterministic. The simultaneous determination of a particle's position and velocity is subject to the usual uncertainty principle constraint. The theory is considered to be a hidden variable theory, and by embracing non-locality it satisfies Bell's inequality. The measurement problem is resolved, since the particles have definite positions at all times.[10] Collapse is explained as phenomenological.[11]"
Now let us contrast Science Phenomenology with Metaphysical Phenomenology.
Phenomenology, in Husserl's conception, is primarily concerned with the systematic reflection on and study of the structures of consciousness and the phenomena that appear in acts of consciousness. This phenomenological ontology can be clearly differentiated from the Cartesian method of analysis which sees the world as objects, sets of objects, and objects acting and reacting upon one another.
I am already noticing the similarity in the debate on QM Interpretations and the measurement problem in QM with the Phenomenology debate in Metaphysics.
"Particle physics phenomenology is the part of theoretical particle physics that deals with the application of theory to high-energy particle physics experiments. Within the Standard Model, phenomenology is the calculating of detailed predictions for experiments, usually at high precision (e.g., including radiative corrections). Beyond the Standard Model, phenomenology addresses the experimental consequences of new models: how their new particles could be searched for, how the model parameters could be measured, and how the model could be distinguished from other, competing models. Phenomenology forms a bridge between the highly mathematical world of theoretical physics (such as quantum field theories and theories of the structure of space-time) and experimental particle physics."
Obviously Science Phenomenology differs greatly from Metaphysical Phenomenology. But considering the problems in QM interpretations which are partially based on Wave/Particle Duality and partially on The Uncertainty Principle a case for Metaphysical Implications can be made.
Also Nonlocal Effects in QM are the "Ghost in the Machine" where the machine is materialism. That is materialist challenge Dualism on the basis that the mind being nonphysical of of a different substance can not interact with or influence the material world. And yet in QM we have Entanglement which does precisely that in the subatomic world.
The Measurement problem which debates on what effect if any the Observer has on what is being measured has been accepted as a Metaphysical question as well.
Most Scientist are Atheist and do not believe in the soul. To them Awareness is just another word for Consciousness so there is no problem. But The Copenhagen interpretation is not the only interpretation in QM and the issue is far from settled.
Where there may not be a controversy in Evolution on natural selection not being enough to explain the complexity of life ..you can not claim the same in the Metaphysical Implications of Quantum Physics.
To recap
Quantum Probability & the Measurement Problem
Quantum physics is defined mathematically by the Schroedinger equation, which depicts the probability of a particle being found at a certain point. This probability is fundamental to the system, not merely a result of ignorance. Once a measurement is made, however, you have a definite result.
The measurement problem is that the theory doesn't completely explain how the act of measurement actually causes this change. Attempts to solve the problem have lead to some intriguing theories.
I have already stated my answer to the measurement problem
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
The physicist Werner Heisenberg developed the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which says that when measuring the physical state of a quantum system there's a fundamental limit to the amount of precision that can be achieved.
For example, the more precisely you measure the momentum of a particle the less precise your measurement of its position. Again, in Heisenberg's interpretation this wasn't just a measurement error or technological limitation, but an actual physical limit.
Unless the Universe itself is Aware there would be no uncertainty on this level is such a precise discipline as Quantum Physics
Quantum Entanglement & Nonlocality
In quantum theory, certain physical systems can become "entangled," meaning that their states are directly related to the state of another object somewhere else. When one object is measured, and the Schroedinger wavefunction collapses into a single state, the other object collapses into its corresponding state ... no matter how far away the objects are (i.e. nonlocality).
All Psychic Phenomena including Precognition "knowing" when the phone will ring and Telepathy the ability to sense emotions other than your own or hear a thought of someone else are made possible if the Universe is an aware Phenomenon and Boundaries are actually agreements rather than physical laws of materialism. Nonlocality demonstrates that these boundaries that separate one aspect of physical reality from another are more apparent then real when looking at the fundamental nature of reality itself.
Buddhism calls this Interbeing
Einstein, who called these influences "spooky action at a distance," illuminated this concept with his EPR Paradox.
And yes...we are still left with
Quantum Consciousness
In attempts to solve the measurement problem in quantum physics (see above), physicists frequently run into the problem of consciousness. Though most physicists try to sidestep the issue, it seems that there is a link between the conscious choice of experiment and the outcome of the experiment.
