On: Simulating RAM in Clojure

[max_]

Thanks for the article,

BTW, why can't we simulate quantum computers with software?

[dragonwriter → max_]

AIUI, you can, it's just that the time it takes the simulation to run isn't proportional to the time it takes the real quantum computer to run.

Unless the software is running on a quantum computer, in which case you just made a quantum VM.

[imtringued → max_]

I don't know why you think we can't.
