Abstract

The generation of entangled states and their degree of entanglement are studied in a relativistic formulation for the case of two interacting spin-1/2 charged particles. In the realm of quantum electrodynamics, we revisit the interaction that produces entanglement between the spin components of covariant Dirac spinors describing the two particles. In this way, we derive the relativistic version of the spin-spin interaction, widely used in the nonrelativistic regime. Following this consistent approach, the relativistic invariance of the generated entanglement is discussed.
