Bell Inequality and Quantum Entanglement
What you are seeing: a source emits two photons in a polarization singlet. Alice (left) measures at angle , Bob (right) at . The singlet correlation is ; the CHSH statistic is bounded by 2 classically but reaches in quantum mechanics

WHAT TO TRY
- Set the optimal-CHSH preset: the singlet correlation E(a,b) = -cos(a-b) pushes the CHSH combination S up to 2 sqrt 2, the Tsirelson bound. No local hidden-variable theory can exceed S = 2.
- Drag the analyzer angles a and b: watch S swing between 2 and 2.83. Whenever S crosses above 2 the verdict flips to a Bell violation, ruling out local realism.
- Switch to the aligned preset (a = b): the photons always agree, S drops to 2, and the correlation looks classical. Entanglement only shows its teeth at the carefully chosen optimal angles.
