Basic aspects of quantum entanglement are illustrated in connection with the two-component wavefunction description of spin-1/2 particles. In particular, the time evolution of entanglement in the Stern-Gerlach experiment is analysed in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
