SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the possibility of a "Communication Theorem" in quantum entanglement, particularly in relation to the ER=EPR conjecture proposed by Susskind and Maldacena. It is established that traversable wormholes require "exotic matter," which, while violating certain energy conditions, still possesses positive energy. The concept of negative energy is dismissed as non-existent in this context. The thread concludes with a clarification that the original premise was based on a misconception regarding the requirements for traversable wormholes.

Could there be a "Communication Theorem" instead of a "No-Communication Theorem" in quantum entanglement if we could measure and manipulate negative energy.

According to the ER=EPR conjecture by Susskind and Maldacena, traversable wormholes—which are postulated to require negative energy (or a vacuum force)—might the equivalence lead to a "Communication Theorem"?

Then could the application of negative energy in quantum entanglement bypass the conventional requirement for Bell state measurement and classical communication, which are necessary in standard Quantum Teleportation?

No, that's not what they require. They require what is called "exotic matter", i.e., stuff that violates the energy conditions that ordinary matter satisfies; but "exotic matter" still has positive energy. What is negative is its pressure.

There is no such thing. See above.

Please enlighten us, what are the equations of the ER=EPR conjecture?

It's a known conjecture, though speculative:

The OP is simply mistaken about what is actually involved with traversable wormholes.

Since the OP question is based on a misconception, which has been corrected, this thread is closed.
