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?

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.
