> Ringel and Kovrizhi showed that attempts to use quantum Monte Carlo to model systems exhibiting anomalies, such as the quantum Hall effect, will always become unworkable.

> They discovered that the complexity of the simulation increased exponentially with the number of particles being simulated.

> The researchers calculated that just storing information about a couple of hundred electrons would require a computer memory that would physically require more atoms than exist in the universe.

The sci-fi trope might now be put to rest after scientists find the suggestion that reality is computer generated is in principle impossible.
