In 2026, physics witnessed a major transformation as researchers moved from theoretical concepts to creating controllable quantum states.
2026年，物理學見證了一場重大變革，研究人員從理論概念轉向創建可控的量子態。
At the University of Oxford, physicists engineered new 'Schrödinger’s cat' states.
在牛津大學，物理學家設計了新型「薛丁格的貓」態。
By using a single trapped ion, they created complex superpositions that are more resilient, providing a foundation for more stable quantum computers.
他們利用單一的被囚禁離子，創造出更具韌性的複雜疊加態，為更穩定的量子電腦奠定了基礎。
Meanwhile, researchers at the University of Chicago simplified the generation of highly entangled states.
與此同時，芝加哥大學的研究人員簡化了高度糾纏態的生成過程。
Using standard laboratory tools to adjust energy levels in optical cavities, they created states like the AKLT state, which could revolutionize ultra-precise sensors for magnetic fields.
透過使用標準實驗室工具調整光腔中的能階，他們創造出諸如AKLT態等狀態，這有望徹底改變用於磁場的超精密感測器。
Earlier in the year, a team at Rice University identified a new topological quantum state in a material made of cerium, ruthenium, and tin.
今年稍早，萊斯大學的一個團隊在由鈰、釕和錫組成的材料中，識別出一種新的拓撲量子態。
By merging quantum criticality with electronic topology, they proved that these effects can coexist to form robust phases.
透過將量子臨界性與電子拓撲結合，他們證明了這些效應可以共存以形成強健的相。
