Dear theoretical particle physicist,
I've read many claims by physicists that these "quantum entangled" particles need not be transmitted at all, but that by simply changing a particle at one location the other half of the entangled pair instantly changes too; even if one particle is on earth and the other on Pluto. They use this to argument as a supposed proof that causal law does not work the way it has been traditionally understood.
Now I read that we must transmit the entangled particles (just as we do with the ordinary ones). And that such transmissions can be intercepted. What's next, will I be told that the quantum computer can't output answers before the question has been input?
