Entanglement has been drafted by researchers in Harvard who indicate that a "complex" theory of quantum physics could be exploited to create huge, high-resolution telescopes. This process backs the idea that scientists of the future will be in a position to witness the furthest parts of our universe through teleportation!
The idea behind this theory is that if two particles become entangled together so much that whatever happens to one particle will also happen to the other, even in the circumstance they are separated from each other by a physical distance.

The main theory includes making massive telescopes that far exceed the biggest at present, the "Extremely Large Telescope" (yes that's its actual name), which measures 40m across and cost $1 billion. The financial side of this experiment will be covered by grouping smaller mirrors (arrays) together to create the larger telescopes. One current limitation is that any mirror over around 330m actually loses too much date (noise) meaning images would not be receivable.
Telescope systems are considered to be the climax of our capabilities under the industrial limits. And with billions of dollars and a bit more time it could theoretically be achieved, but it does also involve shooting a constant stream of entangled photons off into space. Even though we are knowledgeable in this subject, our grasp of quantum computing isn't strong enough to perform that kind of advanced engineering.
There is an astronomical amount of photons needed in this, which can be cut down by exploiting the "quantum memory" the number of photons needed is much lower.
What does this mean? For starters, the team suggests a telescope array could be created with a size-equivalent of 30 km – 100 times larger than the biggest by today’s standards.
This research indicates that the quantum era of astronomy could be very reachable in the near future. The idea of one day having planet-sized telescopes moving through the universe, capturing images of stars being born, & becoming deceased, all leading to further steps being taken into understanding our galaxy.
