That one has been discussed here some time ago.
Cramer is now performing his experiment, similar
to Jensen's experiment.

Two-photon interference and one-photon interference
are obviously different phenomena. In the first case
we need a coincidence detection unit of some sort
(two clocks at least). In the second we do not need
any coincidence device.

It seems to me that these position/momentum correlated
photons 'signaling' machines are based on a sort of ...
fusion ... of the one-photon and the two-photon interference
phenomena. You perform a specific measurement on the idler
photons and, at a distance, *without checking the coincidences*,
you imagine that an interference pattern will appear,
or disappear, at a distance, at the signal wing.

Now it is known, since long time, there is an 'luciferine'
complementarity principle between the one-photon
and the two-photon interference. In the sense that
the more you can see the first interference, the less
you can see the second interference, and viceversa.

See, i.e., these papers:

Since the complementarity principles, in general,
presuppose a 'smooth' transition from the visibility
of a phenomenon to the visibility of the other,
here we can also expect a smooth transition
from the visibility of a single-photon interference
to the visibility of a two-photon interference,
and viceversa.

If there is an intermediate situation in which both
interferences are (badly) visible, and if - in this
intermediate and desperate situation - is still possible
to imagine 'signaling' experiments is difficult to say.
(I think we'll see that soon, since Cramer is playing
with his lasers now).
