Abstract
In [4] (chap. 6) von Neumann deduced a canonical form for the states of a quantum system composite of two sub-systems, but he did not discuss the uniqueness of this representation. In [3] Margenau and Park discussed a generalized form of the Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen paradox. In [1], [2] Baracca, Bergia, Can-nata, Ruffo and Savoia remarked that von Neumann’s theorem might be interpreted as describing a generalized EPR type situation. In fact, the statement of von Neumann’s theorem can be expressed by saying that any state of a composite system can be written in the form discussed by Margenau and Park in [3]. These authors also discussed how to generalize the EPR construction in the case when a Lie group is involved.
