Before measurement, neither qubit owns a definite Z result. When one is measured, the pair reveals a shared correlation.

QuantumEntanglement
Create a linked qubit pair. Each result is random, yet the two results reveal a pattern that classical independent coins cannot reproduce.

What to notice
Choose the correlation
The X gate flips Bob's qubit, changing matching outcomes into opposite outcomes.
Prediction challengeWhat will repeated Z measurements show?

Random alone
Alice cannot predict whether she will see 0 or 1. Each local result is approximately 50/50.
Correlated together
When Alice and Bob compare their records in the same basis, the relationship becomes visible.
|Φ+⟩ = (|00⟩ + |11⟩) / √2
No instant message
Entanglement creates correlations, but Alice cannot control her random result to send information faster than light.

Look at each column separately, then compare the pair labels. Randomness and correlation describe different parts of the experiment.
