I thought quantum entanglement was incapable of transmitting information, for reasons beyond my basic undergrad comprehension of quantum mechanics.

My (ever-so-slightly more than basic undergrad) understanding is that you could send qubits to the Netherlands, have processing be performed by a quantum computer there, and have the result returned faster-than-light (as qubits), but no-one in the Netherlands could read your data or the result (or even the power meter) before at least a light-speed delay.

(If I'm wrong please correct me!)
