Bell-state entanglement
Link two qubits so same-basis measurements agree while each qubit remains locally random.

What you will do
Experience a joint quantum state that cannot be described as two independent qubits.
- 01
Create superposition on the first qubit.
- 02
Use CNOT to create a Bell pair.
- 03
Measure fresh pairs in the same Z or X basis and sort 00, 11, 01 and 10.
04 · PREDICT
Predict before you measure
Choose one answer to unlock the measurement.
INTERACTIVE
Interactive model
Move the control, then run a measurement. This is a teaching simulation—not hardware output.
Make a prediction, then run the measurement to reveal the expected and sampled results.
Measurement results
What the result shows
Ideal same-basis results are only 00 and 11, each about half. In the quantum-state description, neither qubit has an independent definite value.
