I think there was another story that they (can't remember who) changed a photon into a zero-velocity particle than can be stored. Combining that with this, you split a photon causing it to entangle with it's twin, store them in zero-velocity particle state, then re-velocity them and affect them at a future date for instantaneous communication.

Just speculating.

Suppose there's a starbase a light year away, and you are using your method to communicate with them, sending entangled photons to them in the manner you describe. You must send them a one bit message in one minute, that they will instantaneously receive.

In each entangled pair, you have one stored for a year, and the other has been travelling for a year, just to be detected in about one minute by the remote station. What do you do to your stored photon to convey the bit "1" to the remote station, a light year away, a minute from now? What would you do differently to convey the bit "0" instead? They are expecting the photon, they have been getting one every minute for the last year and the next one is just coming up to them right now. What do you do now to make them receive the bit you intend to send?
