Why not?  If you can arbitrarily set a quantum feature (like spin or
wahtever) its quantum pair (presumably separated by a distance) will
assume the other state.

That is what already occurs, quantum superposition.  What I'm saying
is, if you can set or even measure one, the other one automatically
and instantly assumes the other state, surely this could be used to
transmit information somehow.

But as you read it you might change it.  See below.

Well yes, they're all connected.  Heisenberg's uncertainty said that
you cannot find both the momentum (velocity) and position of a
subatomic particle at the same time.  This has to do with the
necessary condition of disturbing the system (i.e., by photons or
electrons from a microscope).  Quantum mechanics is all probability
(which Einstein hated, heh).
