Abstract
When a quantum system possesses more than one degree of freedom, the associated Hilbert space is a tensor product of the spaces associated to each degree of freedom. This structure leads to specific properties of quantum mechanics, whose paradoxical character has been pointed out by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen. Here we study an example of such a situation, by considering entangled states for the spins of two particles.
