Simulate a bell state with Qiskit

- [Narrator] To explore quantum entanglement in Qiskit, let's simulate the Bell States, which are a specific set of quantum states in which two qubits are maximally entangled. There are two Bell states where the qubits are entangled such that they will always have the same measured outcomes. And there are two Bell states in which the two qubits will always have the opposite measurement outcomes. Together these four quantum states are an orthonormal basis that can be used to represent a two-qubit state known as the Bell basis. Keep that in mind because we'll use this Bell basis when we explore a few quantum algorithms near the end of this course. For this demonstration, we'll start with a simple program that creates an empty two-qubit circuit. This program displays the circuit statevector and then the final notebook cell simulates measuring both of these qubits to display the outcomes on a histogram. Now, to put these qubits into…
