  • This particular experiment was a test of the Bell inequalities, so it didn’t attempt any information transfer. But quantum entanglement can be used to communicate information into two senses. First, it can transfer quantum information, such as a superposition state, which can’t be done through ordinary channels without collapsing the state; this is quantum “teleportation.” Second, it can augment classical communication by, for example, allowing more information to be packed (“dense” or “superdense” coding). Neither of these allows information to be sent faster than light, but both are still very useful.
