声称已经成功研制出量子雷达，可探测到60英里外的“隐形”战斗机

A Chinese firm has claimed to successfully developed a quantum radar which could detect stealth fighter jets from great distances.

一家企业声称已经成功研制出量子雷达，可从远程探测到隐形战斗机。

The mobile quantum radar is able to spot and track targets more than 100 kilometres (62 miles) away in the daylight and over the sea, according to Chinese media.

据媒体报道，这种移动量子雷达能够在日间海面环境下完成对100多公里(62英里)以外的目标进行定位和跟踪。

The cutting-edge equipment is expected to be a powerful weapon against U.S. stealth warplanes, such as the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning.

这种尖端设备预计将成为对抗美国隐形战机(如F-22猛禽和F-35闪电)的强大武器。

Stealth craft are equipped with systems to 'jam' detectors with artificial noise, in addition to using special paint and designs to thwart detection by radio waves.

隐形飞机除了使用特殊的涂料和设计来阻止无线电波的探测外，还配备了用人工噪音“干扰”探测器的系统。

A quantum radar can spot objects that are invisible to traditional radio wave-based systems by a principle called quantum entanglement, in which two photons form a connected pair even over great distances.

根据量子纠缠原理，两个光子即使在很远的距离也会形成连接。通过这种原理，量子雷达可以探测到传统无线电波导系统所探测不到的物体。

According to the researchers, it could vastly improve the accuracy in environments with a lot of background noise.

根据研究人员的说法，它可以在有大量背景噪音的环境中大大提高准确度。

China's quantum radar is based on the single-photon detecting technology and is developed by the 14th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation based in Naning.

量子雷达基于单光子探测技术，由位于南京的电子科技集团公司第14研究所研发。

A prototype was built in 2016 and researchers have been running experiments with it in the past two years.

原型机于2016年建成，研究人员在过去两年里一直在用它进行实验。

According to China's Science and Technology Daily, the research team recently completed a long-range experiment with the radar prototype on a plateau in north-west China, marking a major breakthrough of the project.

据《科技日报》报道，研究小组最近在西北部的高原上完成了雷达原型的远程实验，标志着该项目的重大突破。

The radar is undergoing further tests and will have better anti-stealth features in the future, Sun Jun, a senior engineer at the research institute, told China Daily.

该研究所的高级工程师孙军(音译)告诉《日报》，该雷达正在进行进一步的测试，在未来会有更好的反隐身特性。

Sun said in the interview that the quantum radar was highly reliable, accurate and viable in 'sophisticated electromagnetic environments'. It can also be mounted onto different kinds of carriers, according to Sun.

孙军在采访中表示，量子雷达在“复杂的电磁环境”中是高度可靠、精确和可行的，也可以安装在不同的载体上。

Some experts have in the past cast doubt on China's quantum radar project.

一些专家过去曾对的量子雷达项目表示怀疑。

Commenting on the subject to South China Morning Post, Chinese physicist Ma iaosong voiced skepticism over the claim that the quantum radar would be able to detect stealth planes as far as 100 kilometers away.

在接受《南华早报》采访时，物理学家马晓松对量子雷达能够探测100公里以外的隐形飞机的说法表示怀疑。

The physicist also questioned whether the quantum radar would function in non-laboratory, real-life environments.

这位物理学家还质疑量子雷达是否能在非实验室的真实环境中发挥作用。

Just in April, Canada announced it would develop a quantum radar system. The project is funded by Canada's Department of National Defence and is expected to cost $2.7 million (£2.1 million).

就在今年4月，加拿大宣布将开发量子雷达系统，该项目由加拿大国防部出资，预计将花费270万美元(合210万英镑)。

Who did they steal it from?

他们从谁那偷来的技术?

From you British ? You people been stealing all those wealth from China during the Opium War !

@BabyOhBaby难不成是从你们英国人那里偷的吗?鸦片战争期间，你们从偷了多少财富!

It's China they invent nothing. They steal everything.

没发明任何东西，一切都是偷来的。

Is it real or fake... well..some pilot will need a huge pair of love spuds to put it to the test. And if they can make it fit in a fighter and guide air to air missiles the f22 f35 b2 ...f117 will be rendered obsolete

这是真的还是假的？如果能把这种雷达装在战斗机上并引导空对空导弹，F22 F35,B2, F117战斗机都将被淘汰。
