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?
