We present a formalization of several fundamental notions and results from Quantum Information theory, including density matrices and projective measurements, along with the proof that the local hidden-variable hypothesis advocated by Einstein to model quantum mechanics cannot hold. The proof of the latter result is based on the so-called CHSH inequality, and it is the violation of this inequality that was experimentally evidenced by Aspect who earned the Nobel Prize in 2022 for his work. We also formalize various results related to the violation of the CHSH inequality, such as Tsirelson's bound which permits to obtain the maximum violation of this inequality in a quantum setting.
