Furthermore, it is shown that the SU(2) phase states of the half-integer spin j for a certain class of maximum entangled atomic states in the system of 2n atoms interacting with n photons. In particular, the violation of classical realism is shown.EnglishEntanglement and the SU(2) phase states in atomic systemsArticle10.1103/PhysRevA.66.0221111094-1622
