Trudeau: Quantum states encode complex information into single bits

Justin Trudeau was not on this episode. A recording of them was played into it, so these are their words but not an appearance on the a16z Podcast. It still counts as said, and it is kept out of every score on their page.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau explains the fundamentals of quantum computing during a press conference at the Perimeter Institute in April 2016.

“What quantum states allow for is much more complex information to be encoded into a single bit. Regular computer bit is either a one or a zero, on or off. A quantum state can be much more complex than that because, as we know things can be both particle and wave at the same times, and the uncertainty around quantum states allows us to encode more information into a much smaller computer.”
