For this sort of thought experiment the massive magnetic
field around a neutron star is not very good, from day one 
everybody will agree on the poles, best to stick to entangled 
photons or spinning electrons.

One probe would have no way of knowing what the other 
probe was doing unless they communicated, and that can 
only be done at light speed or less.

Experiments have confirmed beyond any doubt that 
correlations can move much faster than light, probably at
infinite speed, but unfortunately you need more than that
to transmit information. To communicate you not only need to 
make a change at a distance you also need a standard to 
measure that change against; Quantum Mechanics can 
provide the one but not the other.
