Bell State

Quantum Computing · 1964

Equation
|Φ⁺⟩ = (|00⟩ + |11⟩)/√2
Field
Quantum Computing
Named After
John Stewart Bell
Year
1964

Symbols

|00⟩, |11⟩ both qubits reading zero, or both reading one · the superposition holds the pair in perfect correlation with neither value decided

Significance

Two qubits sharing one state: measure either and the other's answer is fixed instantly, however far apart. Bell showed no hidden local mechanism can fake these correlations — entanglement is real, and it is the working fuel of quantum computing, teleportation, and quantum cryptography.
