Aug 20, 2020 at 18:04 comment added Glenn Willen I don't have a good reference for this, but perhaps someone can expand this into a good answer by finding one? I believe the answer is "yes, subtly, depending on what you mean by 'coordinate'." See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_game_theory for the general idea of what I'm getting at -- I believe I've read a paper showing that a pair of players with access to entangled particles have a better expected outcome in the Prisoners' Dilemma than without. But I can't find a link at the moment.
Aug 20, 2020 at 0:25 comment added JBH Just to make a point. Let's assume the planet in question is the Earth. Diameter = 12,742 km. Speed of light: 299,792 km/s. For the information to be transferred FTL, the transfer would need to take place in < 42.5 ms. No matter how precise the atomic clocks are, I'm not sure two humans could be trusted to check the qubit together to that level of precision. But it's an interesting question!

Aug 19, 2020 at 20:03 comment added Mark As a general rule of thumb, any time you see the words "quantum entanglement" and "FTL" in a question, the answer is "no".

Shinier title which describes the question better. This is a good question which should make the HNQ list.
