Hi, lifeiststillgood. Yes I am Anne and I don't mind grumpy people so much. We all have our days! :-) If quantum entanglement is used - in the way we understand now - a subluminal/luminal carrier is required. Sending these signals is power intensive, so it is likely to be the case that modulating an existing source might be cheaper. Not so much a parameter that helps us much further though. Of course, it is important to take sparsity into account. It is very unlikely that a fixed signal originating from one point in the sky is the most efficient manner of communication. Sparsity is becoming quite an important concept in machine learning and I think SETI research might benefit from it. But, I've to say, I don't have experience with advances made in SETI research, so maybe they have advanced beyond the standard machine learning methods. :-) I'm just an ordinary roboticist.
