What about using those entangled states to coordinate actions? You could plan ahead and say if you use heads or tails as binary, flip enough to get digits to use as (hopefully hospitable) coordinates and a time to meet. When the two parties meet successfully that location was coordinated using communication faster than light, no?
Maybe you could that same mechanism for superfast decision making communication in automated equipment. Drone dispersal, late stage missile targeting. Think shooting a bunch of missiles into the sky with a map of possible locations and then entanglement used to have each missile pick its target, no missile would hit the same target and no one would know which missile was going where at launch. Stuff like that works?
You could use it for frequency hopping on radios making tracing communication pretty difficult.

- VieElm 12y agoI'm not sure how you use a random number generator to randomly generate values that generate knowledge about previous uses. Those missiles aren't picking their targets randomly, they know where the other missiles are going and where they have to go. No missile is going to hit the same target, with a random number generator they would.
