there will be huge challenges to making this practical. for starters, it will have to work out how to stop they re getting out how to stop dirt getting into the mechanism and scratching the screen, although the design is eye catching. it is another concept. a tablet that can be folded in half. when it is closes it looks a bit like a tiny laptop which i thought was very cute. and out of all the concepts tcl showed me, i thought this was the most robust and practical. and finally come a trifold tablet. essentially a ten inch tablet that folds down into a very chunky phone. it has two hinges, one fold forwards and one fold backwards. and you can bend it into a lot of unusual shapes, although i m not entirely sure why you would want to. none of these are ready to go on sale and the company doesn t even know how much they would cost but it does give us an idea of what some phones might look like in the future. if computers are in the future going to help us design vaccines to take on threat
so, i actually like to think of it as quantum advantage. quantum advantage is kind of that point in time where you are doing a calculation on a quantum computer that you can t do on a classical computer. so, we were discussing chemistry for example, it would be when we are able to achieve a higher level of accuracy for a molecule that we cannot do today using a classical computer or that is too time intensive to be able to achieve that. both ibm and google believe that we are on the cusp of something big with quantum computing. ibm talks about the 2020s being the quantum decade. so maybe for the next pandemic, we will have bigger weapons in our arsenal. the mind bending world of the quantum computer. now, we often talk about autonomous cars on this programme. but have you ever heard of an autonomous wheelchair? the concept has actually been around for a few years now but issues around reliability have meant the idea has never really
if computers are in the future going to help us design vaccines to take on threats like covid 19, well, those computers are probably going to need to be very different. and they re also going to look very different. this is a quantum computer. in this case, one of google s. and while it is still early days, one of the things people expect quantum processors will eventually be very good at is solving hugely complex medical problems. a lot of calculations we run today with chemistry, you have to make approximations very early on in the calculation. which means you decrease the accuracy of the results. with quantum computing, we are hoping that someday we will be able to get high accuracy in a low amount of time. quantum computers have some peculiar properties. they can consider many solutions to a problem at the same time. once we truly understand how to build them at scale and operate
this meant that it had reached something called quantum supremacy. but it is something that ibm says is a red herring. they showed something very specific. it was a nice experiment. i think that there is much more work to be done. it was a very specific example. i think that there is a lot of work to be done to be able to roll that out and show a little bit more applicability. so, i actually like to think of it as quantum advantage. quantum advantage is kind of that point in time where you are doing a calculation in a quantum computer that you can t do on a classical computer. so we were discussing chemistry for example, it would be when we are able to achieve a higher level of accuracy for a molecule that we cannot do today using a classical computer or that is too twime intensive to be time intensive or labour intensive to able to achieve that. both ibm and google believe that we are on the cusp of something
lawsuit against huawei, accusing the chinese giant of a decades long plan to steal technology from us firms. here is the chief security officer. if we are forced to purchase the components that recently comprised 30% of all huawei products around the world, if we are forced to go and not purchase from nearly 300 american companies that are $11 billion a year, if we are forced to not use google for our operating system, the second largest mobile device maker in the world, we will be fine. but what is certain is that the a0,000 american jobs that depend on the $11 billion we spend are going to be negatively impacted. u nfortu nately if going to be negatively impacted. unfortunately if the government keeps going the way they are, they will hurt america, much more than they heard huawei or china. the uk has decided to include huawei in the sg has decided to include huawei in the 5g network. the core aspect of the
