If you are simulating a qbit, why would you necessarily want it to go a certain way, let alone need it to do so? Ditto for a simulated human.
If we are in a simulation, we would have no reason to assume that the physics of the universe in which the simulation runs are as they appear to us. If, however, we chose to assume that is so, it would be consistent to also expect our simulated world to have free will up to the point that the entity running the simulation has.
