2016年,天空中将会多出一颗耀眼的星,而它就是即将发射的“量子科学实验卫星”。“前面的攻关试验都已经做完了。”中国科大微尺度物质科学国家实验室研究员彭承志说,量子科学实验卫星将如期发射。这意味着,量子通信将具备覆盖全球范围的能力。“不过,量子科学实验卫星是一颗低轨卫星,只能在晚上进行量子通信,空间覆盖能力和应用都还比较有限。”彭承志说,为了提高量子通信的范围和应用能力,他们可能还会考虑量子 In 2016, there will be more dazzling stars in the sky, and it is about to launch the “quantum science experimental satellite.” “The previous research tests have been completed.” Peng Chengzhi, a researcher at the National Laboratory of Microscale Physical Science at CUHK, said the quantum science experimental satellite will be launched as scheduled. This means that the quantum communication will have the ability to cover the world. “However, the quantum science experimental satellite is a low-orbiting satellite and can only conduct quantum communication at night, so the space coverage capability and application are still limited.” Peng Chengzhi said that in order to improve the scope and application capability of quantum communication, they Quantum may also be considered
