On the role of quantum computing in grounding morphological complexity

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.
