Entanglement is the weirdest feature of quantum mechanics. David Mermin (1981) provides an accessible introduction to experiments showing that local determinism doesn’t hold in the quantum world, simplifying Bell’s theorem and tests thereof. This knitted Markdown file shows the sums in R and gives one of the configurations a go on an actual quantum computer.
