Abstract. We discuss the EPR paradox and study an example of this in a quantum field theoretical context. We show that there is always an alternative description of QFT in which particles that interact at a moment in time remain entangled and therefore in a form of contact at any spatial or temporal separation. Consequently the correlations of spin or other properties of the particles long time after they cease to interact is perfectly natural and justifiable.

Key words: EPR paradox, quantum field theory.
