Graduate Could there be a "Communication Theorem" instead of a "No-Communication Theorem" in quantum entanglement?

The discussion centers on the possibility of a "Communication Theorem" in quantum entanglement, particularly in relation to the ER=EPR conjecture, which connects traversable wormholes and negative energy. Participants clarify that traversable wormholes require "exotic matter," which does not equate to negative energy but rather involves matter with unusual pressure properties. The idea that negative energy could facilitate communication in quantum entanglement is dismissed as a misconception. The thread concludes with a correction of the original premise, emphasizing the speculative nature of the ER=EPR conjecture. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities and misunderstandings surrounding quantum mechanics and entanglement theories.

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.

I am slowly going through the book 'What Is a Quantum Field Theory?' by Michel Talagrand. I came across the following quote: One does not" prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics. The ultimate test for a model is the agreement of its predictions with experiments. Although it may seem trite, it does fit in with my modelling view of QM. The more I think about it, the more I believe it could be saying something quite profound. For example, precisely what is the justification of...
