Quantum physicists are now facing a similar situation where they cannot satisfactorily simulate the behavior of many interesting quantum systems on even the most powerful computers. It is Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom who is most often associated with the idea that we are living in a computer simulation. Even more disturbing, it may be a much smaller simulation that you think. His premise is based on a series of assumptions: 1). This research was made possible by using a computer cluster devoted to these unique simulations and funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, as well as a supercomputer at CEA/CCRT in France. Neutron stars are almost entirely composed of neutrons and protons, the same subatomic particles in the center of atoms found here on earth, and are held together by a massive gravitational force. Their origin has been a puzzle since then, but astronomers have suggested that most of these particles are accelerated by fast-moving shock waves triggered by supernova explosions. A technological society could eventually achieve It actually explains a few of the trickier things about quantum physics, like why particles have an indeterminate position until they're observed.

Scientists have Joe Britton, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, USA, and coworkers have now demonstrated rudimentary operation of a quantum simulator with hundreds of simultaneously interacting quantum particles. UW scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Theory (INT) are using computers to simulate and examine neutron stars, a stellar remnant that results from the gravitational collapse of a normal star during supernovae activities.
