石溪大學推進量子網絡技術
Stony Brook University Advances Quantum Network Technology
石溪大學（SBU）目前處於新興全球量子經濟的前沿。
Stony Brook University (SBU) is currently at the forefront of the emerging global quantum economy.
透過利用州政府資助的基礎設施與聯邦撥款，SBU 已建立了全國規模最大的量子網路之一，綿延超過 170 英哩。
By leveraging state-funded infrastructure and federal grants, SBU has established one of the nation's largest quantum networks, stretching over 170 miles.
這項進展的核心組成部分是 SCY-QNet 計畫，該計畫將 SBU 與哥倫比亞大學、耶魯大學及布魯克海文國家實驗室連結起來。
A central component of this progress is the SCY-QNet initiative, which links SBU with Columbia, Yale, and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
該校獲得的一項重大技術突破是研發出室溫量子記憶體，克服了過去需要接近絕對零度冷卻的傳統限制。
A major technological breakthrough achieved at the university is the development of room-temperature quantum memory, which overcomes the traditional need for near-absolute-zero cooling.
此外，研究人員正在開發自由空間光學鏈路，這本質上就是一種量子版的無線 Wi-Fi。
Furthermore, researchers are pioneering free-space optical links, essentially a quantum version of wireless Wi-Fi.
在艾登・菲格羅（Eden Figueroa）教授的領導下，該機構也正在建設一座新的量子數據中心，以支援對安全量子網際網路的研究。
Led by Professor Eden Figueroa, the institution is also building a new Quantum Data Center to support research into a secure Quantum Internet.
總而言之，SBU 正為一個未來打下重要的基石；在那個未來裡，量子糾纏將使全球範圍內的近乎即時且無法被駭的通訊成為可能。
Ultimately, SBU is laying the essential groundwork for a future where quantum entanglement enables near-instantaneous and unhackable communication across the globe.
