Researchers have proposed a new technique that uses quantum entanglement to link distant telescopes, bypassing the physical limits of traditional interferometry. Instead of transporting light through complex optical systems, the method relies on quantum correlations and classical communication to merge observational data.

With quantum memories and spatial mode separation, the network could function as a single giant telescope—delivering unprecedented resolution for observing stars and exoplanets, and redefining the future of astrophysics.
