I get where you're coming from with that analogy, but there is probably a better way to put it. Circuit simulation is a long-time application of computers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE).

You're down the Turing machine rabbit hole - I implied you could do that. Just the same way you could simulate a processor using an another processor - it's just not as efficient.
By the way - you could as well simulate a quantum computer on a classical computer; it'd just be incredibly slow.
