The standard argument against faster-than-light communication in quantum field theory (e.g., LBL-24984 P.H. Eberhard & R.R. Ross) is mathematically incorrect (Found. Phys. Letters, 4, 49-59 1991 A.C. de la Torre et-al). Eberhard's error is the assumption that the vanishing of the expectation value of the space-like separated local observables is sufficient to exclude Heisenberg incompatibility outside "each other's light cone". Eberhard's condition, while necessary for such a conclusion, is not sufficient as shown in 1930 by Schrodinger (Berliner Berichte 296). Eberhard, and the standard textbooks and published papers on dispersion relations, have not recognized the contribution of the entanglement of the multiparticle states to the Heisenberg incompatibility. In particular, de la Torre et-al show that Heisenberg incompatibility, hence communication, exists between the commuting spin operators of spinor particles in the singlet state even when they are outside each other's light cone. This means that the retarded causality postulate is wrong. Effects can happen before their causes at the quantum level. This fact does not violate the established tests of special relativity (i.e. time dilation and mass-energy equivalence). Evidence for violation of dispersion relations in gamma proton scattering has been published in 1987 Physical Rev. A by Chas Bennett of Lawrence Livermore. In this series of lectures I show how to construct a practical faster- than-light (FTL) and backwards-in-time (BIT) "quantum delayed choice" (i.e., John Wheeler's term) photon pair communication device using a simple modification of John Clauser's experiment. The transmitter is a calcite rhomb interferometer. The V output is passed through a variable phase plate which encodes the message by phase modulation. The output from the phase plate is sent to a non- absorbing fully reflecting mirror and then to a half-silvered mirror where it is recombined with the other path. The other H rhomb output is passed through a half wave plate changing H to V before reaching the the half-silverd non absorbing beam recombiner. The two outputs of the beam recombiner are sent to separate photon counters of the transmitter. On the opposite side of the pair source we have the receiver which is simply another calcite rhomb whose two outputs go to separate counters. The Feynman rules of standard quantum mechanics (consistent with the 1930 Schrodinger theorem re-presented by de la Torre et-al) of adding ampltudes before squaring for indistinguishable histories and squaring before adding for distinguishable histories imply the following prediction that can be immediately tested in a real experiment. For a stream of spin connected photon pairs, changing the phase plate setting phi(T) at the tr
