     The ONLY way to do that is to observe it, which destroys coherence.   
      
     The whole point is that until either the sender OR receiver looks at a bit,   
   the bit is in a superposed state. Looking at it is the ONLY way to force it.

     Nope. Useless unless the sender knows the values of each bit, and just   
   knowing that destroys the coherence.   
      
     Also, the timing problem I mentioned is a deal-breaker anyway.
