How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the four two-qubit state amplitudes: |00⟩, |01⟩, |10⟩, and |11⟩. A Bell state (max entanglement) uses |00⟩ = |11⟩ = 1/√2 ≈ 0.707.
  2. The amplitudes must be normalized: the sum of squares should equal 1. Adjust until the Inner Product is ~1.
  3. Read Concurrence (0–1): 0 means separable (unentangled), 1 means maximally entangled.
  4. Entanglement Entropy (bits) gives the von Neumann entropy: 0 for separable, 1 bit for a Bell state.
  5. Use Bell State Fidelity (%) to check how close your state is to a canonical Bell state.
