永远解不开的密码（A password that never breaks） Quantum communication: a cipher that never breaks Science fiction movies often have scenes like this: when passengers enter hyperspace machines, the machines begin to function, and in the twinkling of an eye passengers are sent to galaxies tens of thousands of light-years away. Recently, scientists in the China quantum communication the smooth progress, achieved the worlds longest distance quantum communication , caused widespread public curiosity, largely because some of the media reports, the nature of quantum communication is the ultra distance teleport -- from the earth escape to Mars, time is zero. In fact, quantum communications is not so magical. The exciting thing about this kind of communication technology is not the speed of transmitting information, but the ability of never leak. What scientists do is to find the right way to allow quantum communications to gradually increase the distance and eventually put it into practical use. Han Zhengfu, a professor at University of Science and Technology of China and a quantum informatics scientist, sees the continuing progress of Chinese scientists in this field in recent years, making the prospects for the development of quantum communications technology brighter and brighter. Why can quantum communications not be bugged? Lets go back to quantum theory, and in the early twentieth Century experiments found that energy or matter was small enough to be accurately measured (uncertainty principle). Because measurement means interference, it can not be completely changed without being measured to the limit. Theoretically perfect to the extreme of the microscope, for a quantum level particles also helpless, because a touch on the destruction of the particles to be measured. Quantum theory, as the core theory of modern physics, has been proved and applied many times in the past hundred years, and has been well known by every physicist. The idea of using quantum effects to protect com
