AFAIK the method you suggested is still an area of research.
It's all got to do with quantum entanglement. When a property of a quantum system is measured it is forced to take a fixed eigenstate of the measurement operator. If this quantum system has recently interacted with a different quantum system (effectivly making them one quantum system) when one of the particles is measured and forced to take a fixed value so is the other system.
Experiments have been done (I think) to show that the fixing of states happens instantly, although generally it is thought this method can't be used to transmit information as to find out what information was transmitted you would need to know what reading the person making the first measurement got.
Don't take my word on this though as I'm only starting to get the hang of the quantum world.
In the UK I've tried the following banks successfully.
Barclays is all server side so will work in anything which can do secure connections.
Smile is a java client which is abit strange. It works fine in Netscape running in KDE, but just displays a blank screen in Netscape under Gnome. If anyone has any ideas about why whether I'm runnig KDE or Gnome should make a difference I'd really like to know!
