Applied to our world[1], it implies that the entities that are simulating us have access to a more powerful form of computation than quantum computers. Quantum mechanics is thought to be extremely hard to simulate on a classical computer, which means that either our simulators have access to powerful quantum computers, or an even more powerful form of computation.
[1] specifically, quantum mechanics and BQP != BPP, which could be overturned by a better theory of physics or a breakthrough in complexity theory, respectively.
I don’t think this answer is in any way related to my question.
This is my fault, because I didn’t explain what I exactly mean by the “simulation”, and the meaning is different than the most popular one. Details in EDIT in the main post.
