    Quantum-based material calculations are a simulation activity because they use computational methods to solve or approximate quantum mechanical equations and predict the behaviour and properties of real materials. Although the foundation is theoretical physics (quantum mechanics), applying it computationally to simulate materials is a form of numerical experimentation.
