学习英语音频科学家使用量子计算机进行传送实验

　　Scientists say they have successfully used a quantum computer to ＂ teleport ＂ messages between two  simulated  black holes.
　　科学家表示，他们已经成功地使用量子计算机在两个模拟黑洞之间＂传送＂信息。
　　Quantum computing uses elements of quantum physics to complete operations too complex for traditional computers. Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at the level of atoms, or smaller.
　　量子计算使用量子物理的元素来完成对传统计算机来说过于复杂的操作。量子物理学是在原子或更小的水平上研究物质和能量的学科。
　　Researchers recently announced they created two small simulated black holes in a quantum computer and sent an informational message between them.
　　研究人员最近宣布，他们在量子计算机中创建了两个模拟黑洞，并在它们之间发送了信息。
　　The team said the experiment created a simulated ＂wormhole.＂ A wormhole is a  hypothetical  structure of space-time imagined as a passage that connects points separated in space and time.
　　该团队表示，这项实验创建了一个模拟的＂虫洞＂。虫洞是一种假设的时空结构，被想象成一条被分离时空连接点的通道。
　　A wormhole is considered a bridge between two faraway areas in the universe. Scientists describe them as Einstein–Rosen bridges. The two physicists who described them were Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen. Wormholes fit Einstein＂s theory of general relativity, which centers on gravity, one of the basic forces in the universe.
　　虫洞被认为是在宇宙中两个遥远区域之间的桥梁。科学家将其描述为爱因斯坦-罗森桥。是两位物理学家描述了他们的，分别是阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和内森·罗森。虫洞符合爱因斯坦的广义相对论，该理论以引力为中心，其是宇宙中的基本力之一。
　　The researchers recently  reported results of their experiment in a study in the publication  Nature .
　　研究人员最近在《自然》杂志上发表了他们的研究结果。
　　Maria Spiropulu is a physics professor at the California Institute of Technology. She helped lead the study. She described what the team created as a ＂baby wormhole.＂
　　Maria Spiropulu是加州理工学院的物理学教授。她帮助领导了这项研究。她描述团队创造的东西为＂婴儿虫洞＂
　　Spiropulu said in a statement, ＂We found a quantum system that  exhibits  key properties of a gravitational wormhole yet is  sufficiently  small to  implement  on today＂s quantum hardware.＂
　　Spiropulu在一份声明中表示，＂我们发现了一个量子系统，其显示出引力虫洞的关键属性，而且它足够小到在当今的量子硬件上实现。＂
　　She added that even though the experiment was a success, scientists are still a long way from being able to send people or other living things through such a wormhole.
　　她补充说，尽管这项实验取得了成功，但科学家们能够将人或其他生物送入这样的虫洞还有很长的路要走。
　　＂Experimentally, for me, I will tell you that it＂s very, very far away,＂ Spiropulu told reporters. ＂People come to me and they ask me, ＂Can you put your dog in the wormhole?＂
　　＂从实验上来说，对我来说，我会告诉你它非常，非常遥远。＂Spiropulu 告诉记者，人们来到我身边，他们问我，‘你能把你的狗放进虫洞吗？’
　　＂So, no,＂ she added, ＂That＂s a huge  leap .＂
　　＂所以，不，＂她补充道，＂这是一个巨大的飞跃。＂
　　Joseph Lykken is a physicist at Fermilab, a U.S. government physics laboratory. He was a co-writer of the study. He explained that ＂there＂s a difference between something being possible  in principle  and possible in reality.＂
　　Joseph Lykken 是美国政府物理实验室费米实验室的物理学家。他是这项研究的共同作者。他解释说，＂原则上可能的事情和现实中可能的事情是有区别的。＂
　　But Lykken added: ＂You have to start somewhere. And I think to me it＂s just exciting that we＂re able to get our hands on this at all.＂
　　但Lykken补充道：＂你必须从某个地方开始。对我来说我们能够着手解决这个问题非常令人兴奋。＂
　　The researchers observed the simulated wormhole on a quantum device at Alphabet-owned Google.
　　研究人员在Alphabet旗下谷歌的量子设备上观察到了模拟虫洞。
　　The researchers noted that no actual wormhole was created. They said an actual wormhole would have resulted in ＂a  rupture  of space and time.＂ However, they said a simulated wormhole did appear to be created, based on quantum information teleported using the Google computer.
　　研究人员注意到实际上并没有形成虫洞。他们说，一个实际的虫洞会导致＂空间和时间的断裂＂。然而，他们表示一个模拟的虫洞似乎确实被创造出来了，是根据使用谷歌计算机传送的量子信息。
　　＂These ideas have been around for a long time and they＂re very powerful ideas,＂ Lykken said. ＂But in the end, we＂re in experimental science, and we＂ve been struggling now for a very long time to find a way to explore these ideas in the laboratory,＂ he added.
　　＂这些想法已经存在了很长一段时间，它们是非常强大的想法，＂Lykken说，＂但最终，我们是在实验科学领域，我们已经很长时间在努力寻找在实验室中探索这些想法的方法，＂他补充道。
　　＂And that＂s what＂s really exciting about this.＂
　　＂这才是真正令人兴奋的地方。＂
