If no information is transmitted, and actuallyUSING that method to transmit useful information, are (quite strangely) two differentthings. That, also is the amazing implications of entangled photons.
It does sound like the obvious is being missed - so entangled photon paris can be created, and we can know at one end, if the photon at the other end is "read", and this apparently happens at at a minimum of 10k.c; Surely, one could simply create a suitably large number of entangled photon pairs, as an array, and then read them, or not read them, at the end you want to "send" information from, and "detect" (so this weird quantum mechanics story goes) those reads at the other end. Read + Not read = 1 bit. What seems to be implied in the stories so far is that the information must be transmitted through changing states of a single entangled photon - which assumption makes no sense at all. There's a purported phenomena, use it! What are we missing here?
