According to quantum physics, can our universe be a simulation?

In summary, there is currently no solid evidence to support the idea that our universe is a simulation according to quantum physics. However, some theories within quantum physics suggest that our reality might be a projection or simulation from a higher-dimensional reality. It is not currently possible to prove or disprove this concept, and if it is true, it could have significant implications for our understanding of reality and various fields of study. The idea of a simulated universe does not neatly fit into current scientific theories, but it continues to be a topic of debate among scientists and researchers.

What does quantum physics say about the simulation hypothesis?

This is a philosophical question, not scientific. If you start questioning everything, you can't even know whether the surrounding world and other people exist at all. The maintainer of the 'simulation' could make things appear like anything they want. However, there's been some suggestions for an experiment that could produce results supporting the simulation hypothesis: http://users.cms.caltech.edu/~owhadi/index_htm_files/IJQF2017.pdf

Thread closed. The above posts explain way better than I could!
