• Abstract: Although there are several proposals of relativistic spin in the literature, the recognition of intrinsicality as a key characteristic for the definition of this concept is responsible for selecting a single tensor operator that adequately describes such a quantity. This intrinsic definition does not correspond to Wigner's spin operator, which is the definition that is widely adopted in the relativistic quantum information theory literature. Here, the differences between the predictions obtained considering the intrinsic spin and Wigner's spin are investigated. The measurements involving the intrinsic spin are modeled by means of the interaction with an electromagnetic field in a relativistic Stern-Gerlach setup.

• Integral quantization based on the Heisenberg-Weyl group [39.58317527488534]
  We develop a framework of integral quantization applied to the motion of spinless particles in the four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The proposed scheme is based on coherent states generated by the action of the Heisenberg-Weyl group. A direct application of our model, including a computation of transition amplitudes between states characterized by fixed positions and momenta, is postponed to a forthcoming article.

  It is of paramount importance to understand and characterize fully the theory of spin in relativistic quantum information theory. We will focus on the problem of characterizing the spin, reduced spin density matrices and spin quantum correlations in inertial reference frames. Another important aspect is the use of tools of quantum field theory to extend several concepts in non-relativistic domain to relativistic one.

We find that the measurement of the cavity transmission allows to uniquely determine the spin state of the qudits.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
