Can Entangled Photons Be Used for Instantaneous Morse Code Communication?

the entangled photon was sent 10 miles i believe, doesn't matter.

my question is, once the polarization change is viewed on the receiving end, can the observation of the entangled photons ppolarization change be viewed more than once per entanglement?

or could the two ends essentially send morse code information instantaneously forever by changing the photons polarization?
because that would be a major problem.

You can never use entanglement to communicate information FTL.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
