I would have to see the article, but I doubt they did what you think they did. You can alter what property of a photon you are trying to measure in the fly, but no matter what you do actually measure, you then know what the other photon will give when this same property is measured. But you didn't choose what your photon will yield, so you can't send this information FTL to the receiver of the other photon.

Yeah, I'll have to look for it to see exactly how they affected it. They may have just absorbed it into the sensor. When I have time to look for that issue, I'll get back to you. It may be a few days or weeks. I'll save this thread.

Here's something I found from
here:
When two photons are split apart from a single photon mother, they are connately linked by an inseparable quantum bridge. Quantum theory, backed up by the most current experiments, suggests that this bond is so close, that manipulating one photon of an entangled pair causes the same result to occur on the other photon, even if it is across the lab bench or at the other end of the universe (Brooks, 1999. Buchanan 1999. Turchette et al 1998).
They just say "manipulate". hmmm.
