I did read the article. It says the photon comes out before it goes in, and photons can and are often used to transmit information.

So extend the principle further and you have time traveling transmissions to your past self.

You clearly did not read the article because that's not what is said.

What one finds is that the photon actually arrives far earlier than that. In fact, it arrives so early it appears to have spent a negative amount of time inside the cloud – to exit, on average, before it enters.
