The study of coherent photon-nucleus and photon-photon interactions has been extensively conducted to investigate the gluon distribution in nuclei and test QED through relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Typically, these interactions are observed only in ultra-peripheral collisions (UPC) where there is no hadronic interaction. However, the observation of an abnormal excess of J/ψ production at very low transverse momentum by the ALICE collaboration in peripheral A+A collisions has led to the study of coherent photoproduction in hadronic heavy-ion collisions (HHIC), providing evidence of coherent photon products in HHIC. The survival of photoproduced products in HHIC has stimulated further experimental and theoretical investigations, offering a novel approach to study the properties of the quark-gluon plasma generated in HHIC. This talk reviews recent experimental and theoretical advancements in the coherent photon-induced reactions from UPC to HHIC and discusses the potential prospects for future electron ion collision facilities.
