Hey /sci/, I'm looking for inspiration for a sci-fi project.
I read once that a quantum computer makes operations with less steps than a normal computer, because of a superposition. I'm not saying that I understood all this math, since I'm still a brainlet, but I understand that it won't load my pornhub video faster, the differences between quantum computers and normal computers are just "math is faster in quantum!" and "we can decrypt faster in quantum!".
But does this applies to simulations as well? I mean, if we started a simulation of the universe in a quantum computer with a lot of memory to be stored, top quality equipaments so there wouldn't be a interference or break, would it be possible to recreate every single step of the universe in a computer? Or even the other paths that it could have followed?
Of course, if something I typed was wrong, please correct it. I may mention you, Anon, in the credits!

>every single step of the universe
Probably not as such. You'd still need to make simplifying assumptions here and there, since in order to represent every step of the development of the universe, you need to track the position, velocity, etc if every particles in the universe. The only way to store that much information is with every particle in the universe. You'd need an immersed sub-universe for your computer's memory bank.
