Communication with past and future?

I have a question about quantum entanglement. If quantum entanglement can cause particles to travel through time and space does that mean we can use them to communicate with the future or past. Say I build a device on Monday that recives and transmits such particles would I be able talk to my self that exists in Tuesday assuming I still had the device, and when it came Tuesday could I talk to my past self on Monday and so on. Also would I be able to communicate across space instantaneously with such a device.

There is no connection between what you are asking and quantum entanglement.
 
Entangled particles travel through time and space the same way unentangled. Neither can exceed the speed of light and neither can send a signal back in time.

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!
