Abstract

This paper shows the possibility of non-local communication between two entangled, spacelike separated sub-systems. More specifically, it is shown that if there exist (at least) two non-commuting observables respectively defined on these two sub-systems then, for some entangled state of the global system, the probability distribution of the outcomes of measurements performed in one of its parts is changed by the actions that have been performed in the other one. This causal dependency, which includes that of the settings, makes possible a nonlocal exchange of information between the parties.
