Article Snippet: Furthermore, the Agency is sponsoring novel ways to remotely sense chemical composition that are applicable to Earth science, planetary science (for both orbital and surface systems), and astronaut health: Quantum-entangled spectrometer: Physical Sciences, Inc. is developing a quantum-enhanced spectroscopic technique called “ghost spectroscopy,” which combines highly non-degenerate (different wavelength) entangled pairs of photons to probe a gas sample using infrared photons while detecting and reading out the result in the visible spectrum.
