  • An international team of engineers and physicists have found a way to use quantum light to improve the performance of cutting-edge spectroscopy.

The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking advancement in spectroscopy where researchers from the University of Sydney have developed a technique using quantum-entangled photons to double the sensitivity of spectroscopy. This method, known as quantum light, allows for the detection of signals that were previously too weak to observe, potentially revolutionizing fields like medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and materials science. The technique involves using pairs of entangled photons which, when interacting with a sample, provide enhanced information about the sample's properties due to their quantum correlation. This not only increases the sensitivity but also reduces the amount of light needed, thereby minimizing potential damage to sensitive samples. The implications of this technology could lead to earlier detection of diseases, more precise environmental analysis, and the discovery of new materials with unique properties.
