Abstract

Correlations between the orientations of two particles with spin ½ are formulated in terms of a complete set of operators appropriate to display the spectrum of oscillations under the influence of the spin interactions. The operators are classified for this purpose according to space and permutation symmetries. The treatment is intended as a model for any pair of two-level systems. Its extension to multilevel systems and the eventual emergence of dissipative behavior are outlined. The correlation of two-photon polarizations in the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky paradox is described as an illustration.
