High School Can a quantum particle be simulated on a classical computer?

[TheQuestionGuy14]

I'm just curious, is it possible to simulate a quantum particle (so that it is exactly like a real quantum particle) merely using a classical computer? When something is simulated on a classical computer, it's not really actually there, what you see on the screen is just pixels lighting up. The thing you are simulating is just a bunch of transistors turned on or off. Does this mean it's impossible to simulate a particle on a classical computer?

 

[A. Neumaier]

A simulation is always something different from the thing simulated. ''exactly like'' is meaningless, since ''like'' always allows for ''not exactly''. You need to describe in which way you want a simulation to be alike, and in which way you allow it to differ, before you get a meaningless statement.
