Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations of vector bosons
Abstract
We calculate the joint probabilities and the correlation function in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-type experiments with a massive vector boson in the framework of quantum field theory. We report on the strange behavior of the correlation function (and the probabilities)—the correlation function, which in the relativistic case still depends on the particle momenta, for some fixed configurations has local extrema. We also show that relativistic spin-1 particles violate some Bell inequalities more than nonrelativistic ones and that the degree of violation of the Bell inequality is momentum dependent.
