        北京时间2016年8月16日凌晨1时45分，“墨子号”量子科学实验卫星在酒泉卫星发射中心成功发射。该卫星是世界第一颗从事空间尺度量子科学实验的卫星。升空之后，它将配合多个地面站，在国际上率先实现星地高速量子密钥分发、星地双向量子纠缠分发及空间尺度量子非定域性检验、地星量子隐形传态，以及探索广域量子密钥组网等实验。“墨子号”量子科学实验卫星将扩大我国在量子通信领域的国际领先地位，为未来覆盖全球的天地一体化广域量子通信网络建立基础，并将加深人类对量子力学基本原理的理解。

        At 1:40 a.m. of August 16, 2016, quantum science experiments satellite "Micius" was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. This is the world's first satellite for quantum science experiments at space scale. After its launch, cooperated with five ground stations, the satellite would be used for scientific missions, including high-speed quantum key distribution between satellite and ground, quantum entanglement distribution and test of nonlocality at space scale, quantum teleportation between ground and satellite, and global scale quantum networks. "Micius" will further strengthen China's leading position in the field of quantum communication, establish the foundation for future global coverage quantum wide area communications network, and deepen people's understanding of the basic principles of quantum mechanics.
