SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the impossibility of using entangled photons for faster-than-light (FTL) communication, specifically in the context of Morse code. Participants assert that once the polarization of an entangled photon is observed, it cannot be used to send information instantaneously or repeatedly. The consensus is that entanglement does not allow for the transmission of information beyond the speed of light, aligning with established principles in quantum mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum entanglement
  • Knowledge of photon polarization
  • Familiarity with the principles of faster-than-light communication
  • Basic grasp of quantum mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of quantum entanglement on communication theories
  • Study the concept of photon polarization in detail
  • Explore Einstein's theories on relativity and their relation to quantum mechanics
  • Investigate current advancements in quantum communication technologies
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, quantum mechanics enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the limitations of quantum communication technologies.

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.
