This paper is concerned with the spin–momentum correlation in single-particle quantum states, which is described by the mixed states under Lorentz transformations. For convenience, instead of using the superposition of momenta we use only two momentum eigenstates (p1 and p2) that are perpendicular to the Lorentz boost direction. Consequently, in 2D momentum subspace we show that the entanglement of spin and momentum in the moving frame depends on the angle between them. Therefore, when spin and momentum are perpendicular the measure of entanglement is not an observer-dependent quantity in the inertial frame. Likewise, we have calculated the measure of entanglement (by using the concurrence) and have shown that entanglement decreases with respect to the increase in observer velocity. Finally, we argue that Wigner rotation is induced by Lorentz transformations and can be realized as a controlling operator.
