Abstract: | The potential of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) methods to study the correlation of the states of two noninteracting
spins prepared in the singlet state (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm EPRB] pairs) is discussed. EPR methods with a selective
excitation of spins in the EPRB pairs allow one, in principle, to reveal this correlation of spin states if single-spin measurements
are performed. However, it is illustrated that the conventional ensemble EPR experiments, when the average values of projections
of the spin moments are observables, fail in studying the correlation of spins in EPRB pairs. An exploitation of the EPR phenomenon
to study the correlation of spins for ensembles of EPRB pairs needs some modifications of the experimental approach: either
the indirect detection of EPR signals (new observables) should be used or the EPRB pairs should be transferred to another
state when the spin-spin interaction becomes essential, while EPR observables manifest the spin correlation in the precursor
EPRB pair state. In this respect it appears that in spin chemistry many results were already obtained which demonstrate that
it is a reality that two spins might occupy the “entangled” (correlated) state, when there is no interaction between them.
The results obtained in spin chemistry confirm the quantum mechanical predictions for spin-correlated pairs of spins which
can be considered as a realization of EPRB pairs. |
