Abstract
Recent work [J. Dunningham, V. Palge, and V. Vedral, Phys. Rev. A 80, 044302 (2009)] studied entanglement between the spin and momentum components of a single spin- particle and showed that maximal entanglement is obtained only when boosts approach the speed of light. Here we extend the boost scenario to general geometries and show that, intriguingly, maximal entanglement can be achieved with boosts less than the speed of light. Boosts approaching the speed of light may even decrease entanglement. We also provide a geometric explanation for this behavior.
