For decades, scientists believed that quantum materials could only function near absolute zero.
數十年來，科學家們普遍認為量子材料只能在接近絕對零度的環境下運作。
At room temperature, the intense atomic vibrations caused by heat typically destroy delicate quantum states.
在室溫下，熱量引起的劇烈原子震動通常會破壞脆弱的量子態。
However, recent breakthroughs in 2026 have shifted this paradigm, bringing us closer to practical quantum technology.
然而，2026年的近期突破已改變了此種範式，使我們更接近實用的量子技術。
Researchers at LSU have developed a 'metacrystal'—a gold film etched with microscopic slits—that can transport specific quantum states of light at room temperature.
路易斯安那州立大學(LSU)的研究人員研發出一種「超晶體」——即一種蝕刻有微小縫隙的金薄膜，能在室溫下傳輸特定的光量子態。
Simultaneously, engineers at UCLA have successfully demonstrated the control of phonons, or heat-carrying vibrations, in boron arsenide.
同時，加州大學洛杉磯分校(UCLA)的工程師們也成功展示了對砷化硼中聲子的控制。
This shift from laboratory deep-freezing to room-temperature functionality could soon revolutionize fields like secure quantum communications, advanced microelectronics, and ultra-sensitive sensing devices.
這種從實驗室深度冷凍轉向室溫功能性的轉變，很快將徹底改變安全量子通訊、先進微電子學及超靈敏傳感設備等領域。
