Besides reusing the name superposition I don’t think I see a connection to our universe.
Actually though you might find this interesting: there’s a fundamental disconnect between our universe and the von neumann architecture, which is that the rules of our universe appear to be reversible. By which I mean, if there are two possible unique states the universe can be in at time T, there will be exactly two possible unique states the universe can be in at time T+1. This is counter to how an AND gate works, where the result is the same for multiple states (0 AND 1 = 0 as well as 1 AND 0 and 0 AND 0) - one bit of information is lost.
This means that the extra bit must be converted into heat, which puts a lower bound on the amount of heat an AND gate can produce during its operation. There are reversible models of computation (that are not turing complete) which could theoretically run without producing any heat.
