they say it could help with research into high-temperature superconductivity but don't explain how so.

from the article
The work could possibly lead to advances in data storage or communications, he says—perhaps using an exotic quantum phenomenon called long-range entanglement, in which two widely separated particles can instantaneously influence each other's states.

I know entanglement exists, but I thought it was theoretically impo ...[text shortened]... without the encryption key the only random bits are received.

Or something. What do I know.

but I thought it was theoretically impossible to use it to transfer information.

I think you remembered that almost right but you slightly miss-remember. That should be “its theoretically impossible to use it to transfer ( useful ) information over the speed of light”
