Scientists are using 'entangled light' to basically see through things and spot hidden details that a normal camera would miss.

Development of Biphoton Entangled Light Spectroscopy (BELS) using Bell pairs

The Takeaway
By using pairs of photons linked by 'spooky action at a distance,' researchers can detect subtle changes in a material's structure that normal light waves simply cannot interact with. This turns quantum entanglement into a literal flashlight for probing the deepest secrets of matter.
From the abstract
We introduce Biphoton Entanglement Light Spectroscopy (BELS), a quantum spectroscopic technique that employs polarization entangled Bell pairs and two photon interference to probe material properties. In BELS, the measured signal arises not from single photon intensities but from changes in the joint polarization and path correlations of biphoton Bell pairs transmitted through or scattered by a sample and analyzed via cross channel coincidences. A key concept of BELS is the explicit mapping betw
