Not sure what you mean here - you can in theory cross-entangle entangled groups of particles, but I doubt that is what you are really asking.

I'm also not sure how to ask.

The entanglement is data or information? Yes?

Entanglement is data/information about the state of the particle at the moment of entanglement.

But they can't transfer any information after the entangled particles have been seperated.

Isn't this the same as the Stanford lady and moving the light particles through empty space?

Entanglement is a constraint on information about the particles. ie. if one was spin up, the other must be spin down, but we don't know which is which.

Let me ask this question - are you thinking about sending information over optical fiber using paired photons? Entangled photons can't send information, there must always be a classical information pathway for networking applications.

No the optical fiber remark was a comparison.

As a not physicist I'm wondering if the entanglement is being used with the condensate method of capturing photons and reproducing them in another space.
