In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of the faster than light communication possibility based on entangled photons. We analyze designs that may be capable to solve the problem of direct information transfer between members of an entangled photon pairs. We consider that experimental verifications can confirm or even refute this. Our hypothesis was that most proofs of the nocommunication theorem are based on a certain set of conditions, and it is possible to provide a broader set of conditions that allow the establishment of entangled states as quantum information channels, without using a classical channel. One basic unit of the proposed design transforms the polarization state of one member of an entangled photon pair into a spatial superposition state. Thus, after the polarization measurement performed on one member, which eliminates the entanglement, the quantum information is maintained in the spatial superposition state of the other member. This can be recovered by a particular measurement based on spatial interference. We have shown that solutions with so-called symmetric functions lead to average results that corresponds to the nocommunication theorem. However, using asymmetric functions the averaged measurement results calculated in a prescribed time window can distinguish the types of measurements performed on the other member of the pair. This can establish a communication code that enables faster-than-light information sharing under specific conditions. There may be also further theoretical consequences: a significant extension of the quantum mechanical nonlocality principle.

Abstract In Quantum Mechanics, two particles are entangled if their physical states depend on one another's so that if we find one of them in state A, for example, we will be sure that the other is in state B. However, until the state of a quantum particle is measured, it will be in a superposition of states, being in neither one nor the other until then, so when an entangled particle is measured, its pair also assumes a state instantly and regardless of how far away it is from the other particle at that time. As promising as it could be to use this fact for instantaneous communication, Quantum Mechanics seems to claim this is impossible, as no method ever invented to do this has worked until today. What we demonstrate here theoretically is that with a protocol and simple optical devices, two people who share polarized entangled pairs of photons can send information to each other faster than light. If this model of communication proves to be experimentally functional, we will have a contradiction to Einstein's theories of relativity, and otherwise, we will have Quantum Mechanics predicting something that does not happen in real life. This result, therefore, shows there is something fundamental about the universe we do not know yet. One of these theories must be mistaken and both deal with fundamental aspects of reality, such as the dynamics of space and time, and the particles that almost all matter around us are made of. Besides, this result is of great relevance also because it has immediate applications in several areas if the model works experimentally, as in space exploration and security, since it will allow the creation of non-interceptable instantaneous communication technologies.
It is possible to use two particles (A and B) with entangled properties to transmit information at faster than light speeds. This can be done, not by trying to modulate the results of how particle A is measured, but by modulating whether particle A is measured or not measured. The effect of this modulating method is to place particle B in either a single value (but arbitrary) state or leave it in a superposition of states. It is then possible for the reciever of particle B to distinguish between these two states by the use of an appropriately designed interferometer. Such a device can be designed to produce an interference pattern only when particle B is in a superposition of values and a straight simple image when particle B has a single (arbitrary) defined value. Under the Copenhagen interpretation and existing experimental results, this method will produce a way of signalling fater than light. It will require the use of multiple entangled pairs of particles to effectively transmit a single bit of information. Under the Multi-Worlds Interpretation, it will not be so easy to communicate faster than light by this mechanism, as detector B will be detecting photon B as a superposition of values in both cases.
During the last two decades have been successfully developed the quantum cryptography techniques that rely either on manipulation of the polarized single photons or the entangled photon pairs. At that has been found confirmation the fact the quantum correlations between the entangled photons are nearly or totally instantaneous but those correlations cannot be used for the direct superluminal information transfer as the state of the photon in the pair is unknown before the first measurement. Technology of entangled photons has made possible the modified double slit experiments where the appearance of the interference picture in detecting of the “signal” photons may be controlled by the manipulation of the spatially separated “idle” photons. In the present paper we discuss the possible superfast communication channel between the entanglement-linked distant parties using the remote manipulation of the interference picture formed statistically by the number of signal photons.
This paper explores the potential of utilizing quantum entanglement for non-local information transfer, a concept that fundamentally challenges the limitations imposed by classical physics and conventional communication methods. The core claim presented is the possibility of leveraging entanglement's non-locality to achieve information transfer exceeding the speed of light, paving the way for distributed computing architectures with enhanced capabilities. This work details a proposed mechanism for constructing a quantum entanglement network, focusing on manipulating and measuring entangled states to facilitate information transmission. The design incorporates techniques for encoding and decoding information through entanglement superposition and interference. While acknowledging current limitations such as quantum decoherence, this research highlights the significant, albeit challenging, potential of non-local information transfer via entanglement. The theoretical framework presented aims to stimulate further investigation into this revolutionary approach to communication and computation. ---
Abstract In this work, we show that Quantum Mechanics predicts that two people who share entangled polarized pairs of photons can communicate faster than light. We show this communication only occurs in one direction, from person B to A. Person B can send information to A by measuring the polarization of his photons in different directions. Person A can find out in which direction B has measured his photons by measuring how much light passes through an optical circuit. We show this communication is instantaneous because it is based on the collapse of the wave function of the entangled pair, which collapse is instantaneous. We conclude that regardless of whether this method of communication works or not in practice, we have something new because if it works, it would be a contradiction to the theories of Relativity, and if it does not work, Quantum Mechanics would be predicting something that does not happen in real life.
