The are not the same thing 
Let me put it this way - If i say that maybe in the future, the IOTA network could be under threat from quantum computing attacks. That risk exists and IOTA is merely quantum resistant not 100% guaranteed to be able to fend off such attacks. Would this be a fair statement?

Algorithms used by Iota core fall into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography category.
Good read. Thanks.
Another question, so what is the main benefit of holding IOTA tokens? Is it like NXT where you get privileges to use the network? In other words, these tokens must be owned by an entity if they want to use the service provided by the IOTA network. Correct?
