Frame-Dependent Traces and the Third-Particle Paradox

Alessandro Palumbo, Luca Apadula

The Paradox of the Third Particle arises when comparing subsystem descriptions across Quantum Reference Frame (QRF) perspectives. We isolate two distinct origins of the Paradox: th…

Frame perspectives for process matrices: from coordinate parametrization to spacetime representation

Luca Apadula, Alexei Grinbaum, Časlav Brukner

We study how to implement and transform frame perspectives for quantum processes in the process-matrix formalism. We argue that, for pure processes, the causal reference frames (CR…

Higher-order transformations of bidirectional quantum processes

Luca Apadula, Alessandro Bisio, Giulio Chiribella +2

Bidirectional devices are devices for which the roles of the input and output ports can be exchanged. Mathematically, these devices are described by bistochastic quantum channels,…

Identification is Pointless: Quantum Coordinates, Localisation of Events, and the Quantum Hole Argument

Viktoria Kabel, Anne-Catherine de la Hamette, Luca Apadula +4

The study of quantum reference frames (QRFs) is motivated by the idea of taking into account the quantum properties of the reference frames used, explicitly or implicitly, in our d…

Quantum Reference Frames for Lorentz Symmetry

Luca Apadula, Esteban Castro-Ruiz, Časlav Brukner

Since their first introduction, Quantum Reference Frame (QRF) transformations have been extensively discussed, generalising the covariance of physical laws to the quantum domain. D…

No-signalling constrains quantum computation with indefinite causal structure

Luca Apadula, Alessandro Bisio, Paolo Perinotti

Quantum processes with indefinite causal structure emerge when we wonder which are the most general evolutions, allowed by quantum theory, of a set of local systems which are not a…

Unruh effect for detectors in superposition of accelerations

Luis C. Barbado, Esteban Castro-Ruiz, Luca Apadula +1

The Unruh effect is the phenomenon that accelerated observers detect particles even when inertial observers experience the vacuum state. In particular, uniformly accelerated observ…

Symmetries of the Dirac quantum walk and emergence of the de Sitter group

Luca Apadula, Alessandro Bisio, Giacomo Mauro D'Ariano +1

A quantum walk describes the discrete unitary evolution of a quantum particle on a discrete graph. Some quantum walks, referred to as the Weyl and Dirac quantum walks, provide a de…
