They’ve improved that “spooky action” distance to about 100 miles (news item yesterday).

The catch is that while the information transfer is instant, the time to extract the information remains equivalent to light time. That is, the action across the 100 miles is instant, but figuring out what happened still takes half a millisecond. The “information doesn’t move faster than light” rule holds, though for very strange reasons.

It really is bizarro world at the quantum level. Light is waves or particles depending on whether you’re looking at it or not.
