Would it ever be possible to have a low latency data-connection between Earth and Mars?

I understand that conventional technologies for communication are limited by the speed of light but are there any theories of possible ways to create a connection with similar latencies to those found on Earth? What engineering and scientific advances would need to be made for it be possible?

No, not according to our current knowledge.

Communication faster than the speed of light is firmly in the realm of science fiction. Of course, we may be wrong and there may be a way around it, but there's currently no working theory as to what that would entail. So it is useless to speculate about it.

So for the foreseeable future, we're limited to a latency (one-way) of between 3 and 20 minutes for Earth-Mars communication.
