Tossup
States with this physical property are often compared to a game in which Alice and Bob’s expected value increases due to the CHSH inequality. States with this property were used in experiments by John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger. Successively applying Hadamard and CNOT (“C-not”) gates gives qubits this property. Experiments on states with this property validated Bell’s theorem. States with this property imply the existence of hidden variables according to the EPR paradox, which claims it allows faster-than-light communication. For 10 points, name this property of quantum states that cannot be measured independently, which Einstein called “spooky action at a distance.” ■END■
