I don't quite understand how any information has been transmitted. In order to determine a quantum state, it has to be measured - and the act of measuring causes the quantum state to collapse. So the "sender" at point A causes a quantum state change, the "receiver" at point B has to make a measurement to determine the quantum state, and B could do that prematurely, causing the quantum state at A to resolve... Quantum entanglement works both ways.

Well, I'm told that I don't understand how it works either, so I can't really help you. Sorry!

My understanding is that the answer involves Quantum Error Correction, so that link may provide some insight.

This actually might be an even better link to check out in this regard: The Quantum Computer.

Oh, here's one last link you may find of interest: Quantum Computing. I'm not sure how deeply you're interested in the topic, but this last link in particular reviews all the essential principles in rigorous detail.
