hmm, they both talk about quantum computing? the guy in the video says one phrase about it. the article says a bit more. strange question.

This video comes up frequently in social circles as for many people it was their first time having quantum computing explained to them (albeit simplistically). This paper seems to similarly explain briefly what quantum computing is and why it can be useful.

The 'guy in the video' is the prime minister of Canada- the question had value as it asked about someone's understanding of quantum who is in a position of political power.

What's more interesting in the video is quantum computing being explained to a general audience. For young people looking for direction, both the video and the paper serve as persuasive pieces.
