The technology is definitely limited by the speed of light. There has
to be a regular communication channel in order to let the receiving end
know what the result of the "measurement" was at the sending end.

[There does seem to be something FTL going on with the entangled states
of the "probe" particles (see Bell's Inequality), but if it's real, it's
apparently something we mere mortals cannot access. Instantaneous
communication of hidden variables is strictly reserved for the universe
itself.]


Ummm, sending the "entangled" photon is definitely "speed of
light"...however...I got a question!!!!

Imagine two pairs (or sets) of black holes...

Could they be positioned in such way that....
Photons can be trapped in perpetual orbit that passes these photons
back and forth between the black holes...

I picture one photon of the entangled pair is put into perpetual orbit
around one pair or set of black holes, the other photon is sent merrily
on its way to its destination 100K LYs "thataway" to be captured by the
second set of black holes. You create a sufficient number of entangled
photon pairs, sending one photon to the one B/H set, the other to the
other B/H set. I ignore the problem of identifying the individual
photon pairs.

But after all photons are orbiting their respective B/Hs, do you have a
FTL signaling system? Can one change the appropriate quantum state of
one entangled photon and have its entangled partner reflect that
change? IOW, are entangled pairs...reuseable?

If so, then 100,000 years later, we could teleport from "here" to
"there" as often as we wished.

............well, it's a thought.......
