Strong magnetic fields have a profound impact on the behavior of hot plasma, resulting in distinct correlations among charged particles in observed data. However, the corresponding theoretical prediction is complicated by a large uncertainty in the magnetic field.  This presentation will delve into recent progress in deriving closed-form expressions for the one-loop photon polarization and photon emissions from hot magnetized plasma. Furthermore, we will discuss strategies derived from our theoretical insights that can assist in measuring magnetic fields in real-world physics applications, including heavy ion collisions.
