Bell State

Intermediate Quantum Mechanics
A maximally entangled quantum state of two qubits, forming the simplest example of entanglement.

📖 In-Depth Explanation

The four Bell states are the building blocks of quantum entanglement. They cannot be written as products of single-qubit states - measuring one qubit instantly determines the other. Bell states are used in quantum teleportation, superdense coding, and testing quantum mechanics through Bell inequality violations.
