Then, could it be the universe is a colossal quantum computer producing, galaxies, stars, and living systems-including humans and possibly reality itself?

Wow. You're asking if the cosmos is producing reality.... Hmm...
There are two theories that are generally accepted as the most plausible; General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics. General Relativity deals with things on a large scale, like the movement of planets, asteroids, people, etc. Quantum Mechanics deals with the actions of things on a much, much smaller scale, the building blocks of matter, particles much smaller than the particles that make up protons and neutrons. The problem is rectifying these theories, because at the moment, they don't agree with each other, but they're the best we have. A new emerging theory is String Theory, which blends them together reasonably well. If you want to learn about them, a simple Google search will tell you all you need to know.

No, the Cosmos is not ruled by quantum laws, whatever that is. The Cosmos is best explained by Quantum Mechanics Theory. No, not possible. A colossal quantum computer would still be only a tool, not a factory and not capable of producing anything tangible, other than results of computations.

saying that the cosmos is ruled by any laws is a hypothesis. there are some things we cannot explain as to what would happen. for example, a black hole. not many people know what it is. even fewer know how it is created. and no one knows what would happen if anything encounters one. all we know is that it has an incredible amount of density from which almost nothing can escape [in the universe, every particle has an antiparticle that come in pairs. a hypothesis states that if such pair were to pass a black hole, the anti particle would be pulled away and the energy from such separation MIGHT give the other particle just barely enough energy to escape. i read it somewhere and i cant seem to find it. i dont know the specifics so dont quote me]. for all we know, it could be a link to another universe with a completely different time. abnormalities in the physical universe like that and others that we dont know of affect everything.
but what you're saying is one of the several hypothesis about the universe.

No.
The second law of thermodynamics means that the Universe as a whole must be destroying information over time. A computer would need to do the reverse.
Computers on Earth consume energy to reverse this natural tendency of the Universe.

The laws of quantum mechanics work on the subatomic level. On the level of the cosmos, the laws of relativity and gravity prevail.

Newtons gravitational attraction law needs no quantum physics at all. Spectra do.

You've been watching too much Matrix. Hehe.
But yea, it is a possibility the universe is just an electron that is part of another universe.
