It's a lengthy process to simulate just a few picoseconds of a dozen atoms interacting, and the difficulty scales exponentially with the number of particles (a little bit less with good approximations, but the point stands). It's all theoretically possible, but for 99% of chemistry its still not practical to simulace chemistry just using fundamental physics. Quantum computers are more and more helping in simulating quantum systems!

Psychology studies dynamics of conscious physical systems on mostly nontechnical functional level. Consciousness studies study dynamics of conscious physical systems on all levels, functional and physical, using nontechnical and technical, mathematical or nonmathematical language. I'm gonna mainly focus on neurophenomenology, which is a branch of consciousness studies that tries to find the connection between the brain state and the state of experience, find correspondence between those two statespaces, establishing link between the subjective and objective measurments. Easiest example is finding the neural correlate of wellbeing. All models of consciousness are right, they're just studying the same physical system (nervous system) from different angles using different tools from mathematics at different scales of abstraction with different degrees of predictive power of empirical data in their niches.
