On the role of quantum computing in grounding morphological complexity

Author:

In this Short Communication we will discuss the role played by quantum computing within the emerging morphological paradigm in the unconventional natural computing.We intend merely introduce the main reasons why a coherent representation of Universality in morphological natural computing needs to be grounded on a version of Quantum Field Theory independent, in many senses, from the Quantum Mechanics formalism in fundamental physics, namely formulated as a thermal field theory. This theory describesthe “emergence” of natural information and computation’scomplexityat a quantum level, thus overcoming the trivializing argument against the so-called “pancomputationalism”in morphological natural computing.
