In an atomic-level simulation of the world, many many many atoms are required to store information about a single atom. For example, when storing a single bit on a hard drive, lots of atoms are used. So the simulator is bound to be much bigger than the simulated world. No matter what it uses as information storage. Unless you have a black hole or something, where you would take a whole world and compress it. This also applies to teleporters and cloning machines : The hard drive must be much bigger than the person.
