Phys. Rev. A 43, 6382–6385 (1991)Manifestly Lorentz covariant formulation of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen problem using the Tomonaga-Schwinger formalismReceived 31 August 1990; published in the issue dated June 1991 We show that the Tomonaga-Schwinger formalism in quantum field theory provides a manifestly Lorentz covariant description of an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlated state defined on a curved-space-like surface. This avoids the notion of a universal time and clearly demarcates between the completion of the measuring process on a member of an EPR pair and its nonlocal effect on the state of its partner. Being reciprocal and restricted to a spacelike surface, the latter is deterministic but not causal and is consistent with Lorentz invariance. © 1991 The American Physical Society URL:
