Either experiment is possible. In the sequential experiment choose . The first computational basis measurement on returns a uniform bit and prepares . The Pauli X gate changes it to , so the second result is always opposite. The two possible records have probabilities .
In the two-qubit experiment choose the fixed pure stateThe Born rule gives the same two possible records, again with probability each. The observed computational basis anticorrelation alone does not identify whether the correlation was generated sequentially or shared between two qubits.
