Reduced Quantum-Reference-Frame Channels for Open Quantum Systems
Paolo Luppi, Viktoria Kabel, Flaminia Giacomini +1
When reference frames are treated quantum mechanically, the subsystem structure of quantum systems is no longer absolute, but depends on the choice of the quantum reference frame (…
Accessibility of Global Properties from Internal Quantum Reference Frame Perspectives
Anne-Catherine de la Hamette, Viktoria Kabel, Äaslav Brukner
A fundamental question in the field of quantum reference frames concerns what global properties of a system can be determined by observers operating entirely from within that syste…
Indefinite causal order and quantum coordinates
Anne-Catherine de la Hamette, Viktoria Kabel, Marios Christodoulou +1
Classically the causal order of two timelike separated events A and B is fixed -- either A before B or B before A. This is no longer true in quantum theory, where it is possible to…
Knot invariants and indefinite causal order
Samuel Fedida, Anne-Catherine de la Hamette, Viktoria Kabel +1
We explore indefinite causal order between events in the context of quasiclassical spacetimes in superposition. We introduce several new quantifiers to measure the degree of indefi…
Linking Edge Modes and Geometrical Clocks in Linearized Gravity
Kristina Giesel, Viktoria Kabel, Wolfgang Wieland
Reference frames are crucial for describing local observers in general relativity. In quantum gravity, different proposals exist for how to treat reference frames. There are models…
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…
