Polarizing beam splitter is an important device in quantum information and quantum cryptography. Polarizing beam splitter in the case of single photon input works as single bit gate, that takes a single qubit and transform it into another one. The polarizing beam splitter transformation is similar to Hadamard Gate transformation in quantum information, the two tern basis states into superposition states. This work aimed to simulate a polarizing beam splitter using MATLAB code, by treating the polarizing beam splitter as a Hadamard Gate. And then using it for calculation the Bell's inequality. The obtained results show an excellent average value of Bell's inequality (above 2.7) , and the suitable number of entangled photon pairs used to calculate the Bell's inequality is above 600.
