The way we build computers can’t simulate quantum fields. Just means our computers are limited.
Doesn’t mean the universe isn’t a simulation.
Everything you perceive is through the brain. Brain could be in a jar receiving the same neuron signals, it wouldn’t be able to know if it is in a simulation or not.
There is no way for a program to know if it’s inside a virtual machine or not.

But the simulation hypothesis claims that is is more likely that what we perceive as reality is a simulation, run by someone else, than that we are in "real" world. I think it is worse hypothesis than even Drake's equation - there, at least we know all factors, we just have no idea what their value is and with sample size of 1, the current uncertainly is like 40+ orders of magnitude. That still brings us closer to "is there inteligent life in universe" answer than we ever got with "is this universe a simulation".
