The fact that we do not know or understand all the laws of physics (and again, if these are even indeed universal!) means that we cannot be certain about equating computation and physics - assuming we define computation as deterministic, as you seem to be doing here.
Can you 'simulate' a human brain? Sure, easy, all you have to do is just build a human brain out of DNA and proteins and lipids and water and hormones etc, and put it in an exact replica of a human body built from that same stuff.
We have no evidence that consciousness can be separated from the material body that gives rise to it!
And even if we try to abstract that away and say "let's just model the entire physical brain & body digitally": that brain & body is not an island; it's constantly interacting with the entirety of the rest of the physical world.
So, you want to 'simulate' a brain with ones and zeroes? You'll need to simulate the entire universe too. That's likely to be difficult, unless you have an extra universe worth of material to build that computational device with.
