2. The δ-function form of the Wigner function corresponding to the original EPR state is physically idealized and somewhat problematic from a mathematical point of view, since it cannot be normalized. The symbol δ should thus be regarded as representing a normalizable function with an arbitrarily high and narrow peak. See, for example, O. Cohen, Phys. Rev. A 56, 3484 (1997).

35. To be more precise, these measurements follow small (local) coherent displacements of the trapped atoms. Since the measurements are of dichotomic observables, one can construct a Bell-type inequality similar to that for two entangled spin-1/2 particles, and the coherent displacement amplitudes enter as the adjustable parameters (cf. polarizer orientations for spin-1/2 particles).
