Bell States

The generalized Bell States are defined as


\begin{matrix}
|\Psi^{\pm}\rangle&=&(|1_A 0_B\rangle\pm |0_A 1_B\rangle)/\sqrt{2}\\
|\Phi^{\pm}\rangle&=&(|1_A 1_B\rangle\pm |0_A 0_B\rangle)/\sqrt{2}
\end{matrix}

for a partition {A,B}. If the subsystem A has more than one spin, 1A is interpreted as 1_1 \cdots 1_{N_A} and similarly for 1B, 0A, and 0B.
