Phys. Rev. A 71, 022312 (2005) [8 pages]Basis states for relativistic dynamically entangled particlesReceived 28 September 2004; published 18 February 2005 In several recent papers on entanglement in relativistic quantum systems and relativistic Bell’s inequalities, relativistic Bell-type two-particle states have been constructed in analogy to nonrelativistic states. These constructions do not have the form suggested by relativistic invariance of the dynamics. Two relativistic formulations of Bell-type states are shown for massive particles, one using the standard Wigner spin basis and one using the helicity basis. The construction hinges on the use of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of the Poincaré group to reduce the direct product of two unitary irreducible representations (UIRs) into a direct sum of UIRs. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
