That’s not really transmitting any useful information though. If you know the distance between the sender and receiver, and the nature of the intervening medium, then you already know when the photon arrives, by simple arithmetic.

Besides, quantum teleportation is not really about sending the photon somewhere; it only comes into play once the photons are already in place in two locations. You only send the entangled photon a single time, and after that, you can perform the operations to achieve the quantum teleportation.

Once they’re in place, you could then tell if someone performed an operation on the other photon, but that’s the only superluminal information you might be able to get. You couldn’t tell specifically what operation was performed unless there are accompanying subluminal transmissions to provide you with the missing information you need.
