• Abstract: Bell nonlocality is both a defining signature of entanglement and a key quantum information resource. However, visualizing and certifying nonlocal correlations across a spatially multimode photonic field remains challenging due to the rapidly growing measurement cost of spatially resolved projective tests. To address this issue, we build a spatial nonlocality imaging scheme that directly reveals the spatial distribution of quantum nonlocality by integrating a metasurface that performs parallel polarization projections with a quantum-adaptive neural network. Spatially resolved Clauser--Horne--Shimony--Holt (CHSH) tests are realized over a 400-pixel biphoton field using an average of only 1.7 detected coincidence pairs per pixel per basis. This approach yields a nonlocality image that maps the two-dimensional spatial distribution of Bell violations across the optical field and reveals the target-state-dependent spatial evolution of Bell violations. It provides a highly resource-efficient route to large-scale Bell certification and opens new possibilities for exploiting spatially multimode entanglement in quantum imaging, quantum networking, and scalable photonic quantum technologies.
