Quantum entanglement could, theoretically, revolutionize communication. Even now, it boggles the mind that entangled particles affect each other instantly over vast distances. If we could develop devices to exploit entanglement for the purpose of transmitting data, it would mean instantaneous information exchange without the constraints of light speed. Potentially, this could form the basis of comm systems for deep-space exploration where traditional radio signals face prohibitive delays.

The security implications are crazy to think about. Quantum entanglement based comms would be theoretically unhackable, since any attempt to eavesdrop changes the system state. Quantum encryption is already a thing, but entanglement could totally change the game.

Theoretically, it's fascinating, but in practice, there's much more to consider. Entanglement's instant correlation doesn't necessarily translate to instant communication. You still can't use it to send information faster than light as that would break causality. Then there's decoherence, error rates, etc. We should focus on making quantum communication reliable and secure before dreaming of broadband across the galaxy.

I'll believe it when I see it. Entanglement is cool and all, but turning that into a viable communication method is a HUGE leap from where we are now with quantum mechanics. Plus there's this thing called the no-communication theorem that kinda throws a wrench in the works 🤔
