I know this might has be posted a lot of times and I should know why entanglement doesn't carry data but this time I've thought something different.
I know that if Alice and Bob share a singlet state and Alice measures her particle' spin she can't communicate anything to Bob because she can't determine what value she will measure so there shouldn't be any data transfer. But what if Alice says before to Bob "measure ur particle after i measure mine, if ur result will be UP (therefore mine will be DOWN) I'll kill Schrodinger's cat, in the other case if your measurement will be DOWN i won't kill it".
So even if she can't determine her future action Bob is allowed to know what's happening on Alice's side *istantaneously*. This isn't like Bob tossing a coin, because even if the result of the measurement is random on Alice's side, Bob will know with absolute certainty Alice's actions.

Where am I wrong?

In that case, its the same as if they flipped a coin, didn't look at the result---but both took pictures of the result, and looked at them separately once they were further apart... you're not getting any information transfer from it, it just coordination.

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!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
