Classical limit of entangled states of two angular momenta

We consider a system of two particles, each with large angular momentum $j$, in the singlet state. The probabilities of finding projections of the angular momenta on selected axes are determined. The generalized Bell inequalities involve these probabilities and we study them using statistical methods. We show that most of Bells inequalities cannot be violated, or are violated only marginally, in the limit $j\to \infinity$. The precision required to confirm a violation appears to be difficult to achieve. In practice, the quantum system, in spite of being entangled, becomes indistinguishable from its classical counterpart.

Hydrogen atom in phase space: The Wigner representation

We have found an effective method of calculating the Wigner function, being a quantum analogue of joint probability distribution of position and momentum, for bound states of nonrelativistic hydrogen atom. The formal similarity between the eigenfunctions of nonrelativistic hydrogen atom in the momentum representation and Klein-Gordon propagators has allowed the calculation of the Wigner function for an arbitrary bound state of the hydrogen atom. These Wigner functions for some low lying states are depicted and discussed.
