Quantum entanglement
Compare Alice and Bob’s random local results and reveal correlations that violate a Bell inequality—without enabling faster-than-light messages.Joint outcomes
No-signalling: Alice’s local + rate
Random here, correlated together
Alice and Bob each see unpredictable +1 and −1 results. Only after matching records by pair and setting do the angle-dependent correlations emerge.
What Bell–CHSH tests
Local hidden-variable models obey S≤2. Quantum theory predicts up to 2√2. A simulated value above 2 rejects the tested local model, not logic, causality or all possible realism.
No faster-than-light message
Bob cannot control his random result, and changing his setting does not change Alice’s local 50/50 statistics. Entanglement supplies correlations, not a communication channel.
Scientific note: Joint outcomes are sampled from the singlet correlation E(a,b)=−cos(a−b), with visibility modelling depolarising noise. Paths are schematic and this educational simulation does not close real experimental loopholes.
