Size of a quantum computer to effectively calculate macroscopic reality from quantum mechanics


Assuming the correctness of QM: Would the size of such a computer be smaller than the observable universe? If it were to represent all available information in the universe it seems that it's minimal necessary size would relate to a black hole of a certain mass. Would this lead us to believe this theoretical quantum computer (assuming it didn't represent itself) could be constructed smaller than the universe? Or if the information content of an object is truly expressed in relation to a surface area is the universe the object with the minimal surface required to represent the totality of it's information?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
