The Glauber-Sudarshan $P$-representation is used in quantum optics to distinguish between semi-classical and genuinely quantum electromagnetic fields. We employ the analog of the $P$-representation to show that the violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for the second-order correlation function is a proof of entanglement between identical massive bosons. The presented derivation is valid both in systems with fixed and fluctuating number of particles. Thanks to the recent advances in techniques of detecting positions of separate particles, the violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality can be used as a simple entanglement criterion in various many-body quantum systems.
