Abstracts:
We study the transformation of maximally entangled states
under the action of Lorentz transformations in a fully relativistic
setting. By explicit calculation of the Wigner rotation, we describe the
relativistic analog of the Bell states as viewed from two inertial
frames moving with constant velocity with respect to each other. Though
the finite dimensional matrices describing the Lorentz transformations
are non-unitary, each single particle state of the entangled pair
undergoes an effective, momentum dependent, local unitary rotation,
thereby preserving the entanglement fidelity of the bipartite state. The
details of how these unitary transformations are manifested are
explicitly worked out for the Bell states comprised of massive spin
$1/2$ particles and massless photon polarizations. The relevance of this
work to non-inertial frames is briefly discussed.
