Wanted to confirm the source of the below statement from your post:
Instant Communication Across Distances
Entanglement allows particles to communicate instantly, defying the speed of light limit for information transfer.
Based on my understanding of Physics (which mostly comes from my BS and MS in Physics), I remember that nothing can travel faster than light, even in the case of quantum entanglement. Here is an article saying the same thing.
A common misconception about entanglement is that the particles are communicating with each other faster than the speed of light, which would go against Einstein's special theory of relativity. Experiments have shown that this is not true, nor can quantum physics be used to send faster-than-light communications.
In reexamining the paper which is about measuring entanglement, your understanding seems correct.
It certainly gets confusing!
Entanglement does not transmit information. When you measure one entangled particle, it instantly collapses its wavefunction, affecting the state of its partner regardless of distance. But this correlation is not the same as sending a message. You cannot control the outcome of the measurement, so you cannot encode information and transmit it.

Here are some references I rechecked to confirm:

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Quantum Entanglement: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-entangle/
Very interesting and detailed reference!
