For anyone interested, there is a great video by the PBS space time channel explaining quantum entanglement here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tafGL02EUOA

The thing is, although the quantum state of the photom collapses instantaneously on both entangled photons, we can't manipulate at which state the photon will collapse, and so, we can't really send information using quantum entanglement.

We can't also confirm the entanglement until we can compare both measurement results or else we could send information from the future as in the quantum eraser experiment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uzytrooz44
