I read that the tests so far (Maine) have been "simulations." This may be obvious and I just do not understand it, but how is that different from testing the actual technology?

Obviously, they do not yet have a chip, so I understand that there are physical differences. Are theories and technology that may be incorporated into a chip commonly tested with software type "simulations" before chip design and creation of a prototype? How could-do they know that a physical chip will act and react the same way as a software generated simulation? How does one simulate what a chip would do in a way that can produce meaningful results?
