Can entangled qubits be used to probe black holes?

Information escapes from black holes via Hawking radiation, so it should be possible to capture it and use it to reconstruct what fell in: if given time longer than the age of the universe. However, if information is scrambled rapidly when it falls in, it may be possible to resurrect it by capturing Hawking radiation from entangled qubits. Physicists confirmed scrambling in a quantum computer, based on predictions by theorists.
