Instantaneously between stars and across the galaxy.

It will never work and I missed the part where it is faster than the speed of light.

You didn't miss it. It wasn't claimed in the article.

Let's think about how this might work in interstellar communication. First you entangle two streams of photons. One stream has to reach the "receiver" via the usual route (at the speed of light). Once the stream has reached it's destination, you can theoretically wiggle them instaneously by wiggling their entangled brothers. (The part conveniently skipped over is the time required for the photons to reach their target.) There are other problems also.

It does work, and you apparently did. It's old news, also, and has been done at many labs around the world. There have been several FR threads over the years. Perhaps someone will link to one or more of them.
