comment Question on hadamard gate and cnot gate circuit tables
I am guessing you know the action of a Hadamard gate on the computational basis: H(|0>)=1/sqrt(2)(|0>+|1>) and H(|1>)=1/sqrt(2)(|0>-|1>). What state do you get when you apply a Hadamard to each qubit when the initial state is |00>? To compute the action of the CNOT gate, just use linearity the of quantum mechanics. For example CNOT(|00>+|11>)=CNOT|00>+CNOT|11>.

comment Bell's Theorem graph
Which of the two questions you pose are you most interested in? Understanding Bell's theorem or randomness in quantum mechanics? It appears that your question is really two questions!

comment POVM advantage in state discrimination
By advantage I mean that the error probability is decreased. I realize now that I should not have included the unambiguous case. I will edit the question accordingly. However, I must agree with Chris that this is the type of questions that may find a concise answer from an expert.

comment Bell State, if Bob applies a Pauli Gate?
Are you sure it's a complex conjugate and not a transpose?

comment Quantum cryptography: encryptions
How is this different from a classical protocol in which the parties flip a classical bit depending on the value of $k$? What is the goal of the protocol?
