When a journalist implied that Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau couldn’t explain quantum computing, the P.M. smiled and called his bluff.
At the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, a reporter asked
Trudeau about Canada’s mission against ISIL, saying,
“I wasn’t asking you to explain quantum computing.”
“Very simply, normal computers work by…” Trudeau began to respond, to laughter and applause from the audience.
“No, no, no,” he said,
“Don’t interrupt me. When you walk out of here you will know more, well, no, some of you will know far less about quantum computing.”Then he launched into an actual explanation.
