The point? Even with the most powerful computer that could simulate the past, you could never prove whether or not it's actually real or just a product of the algorithm generating it.

the likelihood of you or I being real, and not a simulated being, are in fact 1,000,000,000 - 1 against.

Oh , obviously something isnt quite right, or we would all be millionaires, have no worries, and life could be perfect.
Darn if we're going to do it, do it right.

I think you are refering to the "Quantum computer".
If it can be built - it presently only exists in theory ( though quantum theory is about as solid as theories come so its fair to assume one can be built given enough research) - it would be able to simulate multiple universes in a fraction of a second. Within these simulated universes civilisations could evolve and develop the technology to build their own quantum computers which they could use to simulate their own universes. This process would go on and on.
