The two-spin singlet is
Spin measurements along axes and have correlation , and equal axes give perfect anticorrelation.
This is the spin-one-half singlet state, an example of an angular momentum singlet state. The general singlet condition is zero total angular momentum, not the choice of a particular two-qubit Bell basis.
For and any two-by-two unitary matrix, expand the two columns of . The equal-index coefficients cancel, and the coefficient of is the determinant. Its modulus is one, so a common change of qubit basis preserves the spin singlet state up to a global phase. The density projector is exactly invariant.
