Entangled states, Lorentz transformations and spin precession in magnetic fields

Abstract

Two positive mass, spin- particles created in an entangled state are studied in the presence of a constant magnetic field inducing distinct precessions, depending on the respective momenta, of the two spins. The charge and anomalous magnetic moment of each particle are taken into account. Consequences for entanglement and, more generally, on correlations, are derived. We start, however, with a compact derivation of the effects of Lorentz transformations on such entangled states, although that has been studied by several authors. Our formalism displays conveniently the analogies and the differences between the two cases. Moreover, combining the two, one obtains the case of constant, orthogonal electric and magnetic fields. More general perspectives are evoked in the concluding remarks.
