Wikipedia is referring to superdense coding, which is not superluminal and still needs you to physically send a particle from place to place to transfer the information.
"an entangled state (e.g. a Bell state) is prepared using a Bell circuit or gate by Charlie, a third person. Charlie then sends one of these qubits (in the Bell state) to Alice and the other to Bob. Once Alice obtains her qubit in the entangled state, she applies a certain quantum gate to her qubit depending on which two-bit message (00, 01, 10 or 11) she wants to send to Bob. Her entangled qubit is then sent to Bob who, after applying the appropriate quantum gate and making a measurement, can retrieve the classical two-bit message." (emphasis mine)
Alice physically transmits her qubit to Bob, so it's not superluminal and doesn't break the no-communication theorem.

- GoblinSlayer 4y agoOkay, I found my error: deterministic measurement I proposed is impossible, it works only for factorized state, but entangled state produces second spooky result with uniform distribution, so collapsed photon is indistinguishable from noncollapsed.
