English: The state labeled "EPR Pair" is a two-qubit entangled state with one qubit on each wire. A CNOT operation with the first qubit as control, followed by a Hadamard transform on the first qubit, produces an unentangled (product) state of the two qubits |a> and |b>, each of which are in exactly one of the computational basis states |0> or |1>. The mapping is unique so the circuit uniquely takes Bell Basis states to two-qubit Computational Basis states (in other words this circuit is a change of basis).

If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Bell State Decoder.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This graph image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans.

A simple quantum circuit that maps one of the four EPR pairs into one of the four two-qubit computational basis states. The circuit consists of a CNOT gate followed by a Hadamard operation. In the outputs, a and b take on values of 0 or 1.
