SPIN DISTRIBUTIONS FOR BIPARTITE QUANTUM SYSTEMS

A. R. Usha Devi

We carryout a comparative study of spin distributions defined over the sphere for bipartite quantum spin assemblies. We analyze Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen–Bohm (EPRB) spin correlations in a spin-s singlet state using these distributions. We observe that in the classical limit of s → ∞, EPRB spin distributions turn out to be delta functions, thus reflecting the perfect anticorrelation property of two-spin vectors associated with a spin-s singlet state.

Joint Wigner Distribution for Spin-1/2 Particles

Leon W. Cohen, Marian O. Scully

The Wigner distribution has proven to be a useful tool in many quantum problems requiring a joint distribution of position and momentum. In the present paper we develop a joint distribution for spin components within the spirit of the Wigner distribution. This distribution provides an insight into the quantum theory of measurement. We also discuss how one may write joint distributions for two arbitrary noncommuting operators.
