A singlet state refers to a quantum system of two particles that are entangled in such a way that their total spin is zero, making them perfectly correlated in their spin measurements regardless of the distance separating them. This phenomenon is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, illustrating the non-local correlations that defy classical intuitions and form the basis for quantum information science.

Quantum Information Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines quantum mechanics and information theory to develop new ways of processing and transmitting information. It underpins technologies like quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum communication, which promise to revolutionize computing and secure data transmission.
