Step through the circuit
Bars show the four amplitudes of the two-qubit state. Bar height is the amplitude and can be negative; the label is its probability (amplitude²).
Measurement dials
Angles are the direction of the spin measurement (Bloch-sphere angle). For photons the polarizer turns half as far.

Every number on this page is computed live in your browser. The quantum outcomes are sampled from the Born rule on the exact two-qubit state. The “local model” is one explicit local hidden-variable model: each pair carries a single shared hidden direction. Bell’s theorem covers every local model, not only this one.
