Justin Trudeau has been the Prime Minister of Canada for only about six months. In that time, he has impressed people by greeting an airplane filled with Syrian refugees, showing off his ability to do yoga, and participating in traditional Indian dances. But last Friday, he showed off his intelligence, and everyone loved it. Trudeau talked with reporters after visiting a physics research center. He stood in front of a board with complex physics notations. One reporter said, “I was going to ask you to explain quantum computing” But then he asked him a question about Canada’s work in fighting against the Islamic State terror group. Trudeau stopped the reporter. He told him he actually did know about quantum computing. Trudeau then said: “Normal computers work it’s one or a zero. They’re binary systems. What quantum states allow for is much more complex information to be encoded into a single bit.” Trudeau continued his explanation of quantum computing for about 20 more seconds.
