Hmm, seems like someone beat me to it. Federico Faggin describes the idea I had in mind with his Quantum Information Panpsychism theory. Check it out here if interested—and I’ll appreciate your opinion on plausiblity of the theory.
That sounds interesting! I’ll give the paper a read and try to suss out what it means—it seems at least a serious enough effort. Here’s the reference for anyone else who doesn’t want to go through the intermediate news site:
I guess! I remember he was always into theoretical QM and “Quantum Foundations” so this is not a surprise. It’s not a particularly big field either, most researchers prefer focusing on less philosophical aspects of the theory.

(also: professor D’Ariano authored this? I used to work in the same department!)
Thank you. What a coincidence, huh?
