Bell State

A **Bell state** is one of four specific quantum states in which two qubits are **maximally entangled**, meaning their measurement outcomes are perfectly correlated no matter how far apart they are. Each Bell state represents a different pattern of correlation between the qubits. These states are fundamental in quantum information for testing **nonlocality** (violations of Bell’s inequality) and for protocols like **quantum teleportation**.
