While other research groups had successfully transmitted quantum information alongside classical data streams in simulations of the internet, Kumar’s team was the first to teleport a quantum state alongside an actual internet stream.

      That’s exactly how entanglement would have to work with data. You’re not “transferring” anything, you’re observing it’s mirror. There is no transfer of anything, you just observe it’s mirrored counterpart, so you’re technically right.

      If they find a way to encode something like a movie, the remote side would only need to read. No transfer.
