New device could reveal exoplanets beyond our solar system that today 's telescopes cannot resolve.

Device could provide insights into possibility of life beyond Earth .

New coronagraph can theoretically achieve the fundamental limits of exoplanet detection and localization set by quantum optics .

It could allow us to potentially detect biosignatures and discover the presence of life among the stars.

For example, the spatial mode filtering methods they used could address more complex scenarios, such as treating stars as extended objects, and may also lead to new imaging methods for quantum sensing, medical imaging and communications.
