    I'm glad to see that they have their scripts peer reviewed, and they'll completely scrap scripts they've been working on that don't pass the review process.

      Yeah, that's a surprisingly high level of integrity for a youtube channel. :)

    Aren't there other videos on their channel that aren't very accurate, other than the two they mentioned? I've heard that their quantum computing video is full of bullshit.

      This one? Seems pretty good to me. In fact, for a 7-minute overview of quantum computing, it's remarkably accurate and not misleading. I guess I would criticise their discussion of database...

      I guess I would criticise their discussion of database searching (alluding to Grover's algorithm), because in order to search an arbitrary database, you'd have to construct the whole database in your quantum computer. Grover's algorithm is not really a database search algorithm in the usual sense of "database" and "search".

      Simplification is not the same as factual inaccuracy.
