Bell state preparation
I was watching some lectures on qubits. They were talking about how to generate a Bell state. They described it as follows:
Prepare state 00:
$$\left |0 \right> \otimes \left |0 \right>$$
Apply ...

How does Bell measurement work in the teleportation?
I'm a complete beginner and one of the first things I was taught was the teleportation protocol. In the protocol, the party sending its state (which we call say $|\phi\rangle$) makes a Bell ...

What is the representative matrix for a measurement in the Bell-state basis?
I have a few questions about measurement in Bell-state basis. In particular, if $Z = \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0\\
0 & -1
\end{bmatrix}$
is for a measurement on the computational basis, then what ...

How to apply the Schmidt Decomposition to a Bell state?
I am trying to understand the Schmidt Decomposition, currently in my QC class. We had a tutorial where we were told if $|\psi\rangle$ is a pure state of a composite system A then there exists $|i_A\...

What happens when you send a Bell state through depolarizing channel?
For noise parameter $Q$ and a density matrix $\rho$, we know that the depolarization channel $\mathcal{E}$ would act like:
$$
\mathcal{E}(\rho) = (1 - Q)\rho +Q\frac{I}{2},
$$
where $I$ is the ...

What does the minus sign in the four bell states represent?
I am in grade 11, so answers as simple as possible. I understand that in quantum teleportation, the bell measurement must be made on the teleportee and the sender, and I understand that yields one of ...

Creating Bell States with CNOT conditioned to the control qubit being set to zero
I was using qiskit to generate all of the Bell States. I created the following circuits for each state:
$|\Phi^+\rangle :$
$|\Phi^-\rangle :$
$|\Psi^+\rangle :$
$|\Psi^-\rangle :$
The $|\Psi^\pm\...

What is the property of any entangled pair of qubits?
We know that any of the Bell states has the special property that the second qubit will be found in a state which is predictable based on measuring one of the qubits. But assuming any other pair of ...
