We get an interesting paradox if we try to simulate the time evolution according to the schr�dinger equation on a classical machine. Consider simulating an observer measuring the z-component of a spin in the state:
 
a �up> + b �down>,
 
where �a� is not equal to �b�.
 
The classical computer will end up simulating the states of the observer having measured spin up and spin down. The probability for the observer in any of these states is 1/2 irrespective of a and b.
 
Therefore from the first person's perspective the laws of quantum mechanics are violated.
