    So you can't predict the state, like using a special path that can be relied upon to affect the beam in a known way, or something like that?

    Well then you change how the information is encoded. And that essentially ruins the information that was encoded on that state, making it even more impossible to predict even if you know the mechanism used to affect the beam.

    is it me, or this is some strange stuff.
    how this pulse can exit this chamber before it finished entering?

    time travel... foward in time?

    No.....just crappy reporting and misconception. The phase velocity, think of it as a pattern, traveled faster than light. Not the group velocity of the light pulse. Two very different things.
