Study of quantum spin correlations of relativistic electron pairs
The Polish-German project QUEST (Darmstadt-Krakow-Lodz-Warsaw) aims atstudying relativistic quantum spin correlations of theEinstein-Rosen-Podolsky-Bohm type, through measurement of the correlationfunction and the corresponding probabilities for relativistic electronpairs. The results will be compared to theoretical predictions obtained byus within the framework of relativistic quantum mechanics, based onassumptions regarding the form of the relativistic spin operator.Agreement or divergence will be interpreted in the context ofnon-uniqueness of the relativistic spin operator in quantum mechanics aswell as dependence of the correlation function on the choice of observablesrepresenting the spin.
