=== Single qubit ===
A [[Bell's theorem|collection of related theorems]], beginning with Bell's proof in 1964, show that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden variables. However, as Bell pointed out, restricted sets of quantum phenomena ''can'' be imitated using local hidden-variable models. Bell provided a local hidden-variable model for quantum measurements upon a spin-1/2 particle, or in the terminology of quantum information theory, a single [[qubit]].<ref name=Bell1964>{{cite journal | last1 = Bell | first1 = J.
