Abstract

The spin-jj extension of Bohm's version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment is is analysed in terms of the Wigner function when the two spins are in a singlet state. This function is calculated for all jj, and it is shown that just as Bell inequalities are violated with undiminished range and magnitude for arbitarirly large jj, this function does not become less negative. On the contrary, the oscillations between positive and negative values grow both in frequency and amplitude. It is argued that this is an alternative way to grasp the approach to classical behavior with increasing quantum number.
