Mutual Information Across Quantum Reference Frame Perspectives

Leonardo Valente, Carla Ferradini, Flaminia Giacomini +1

In quantum information theory, standard notions typically presuppose a fixed partition of the world into subsystems, encoded in a tensor product structure of the Hilbert space. Yet…

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, Časlav 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…

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…

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…

What an event is not: unravelling the identity of events in quantum theory and gravity

Anne-Catherine de la Hamette, Viktoria Kabel, Časlav Brukner

We explore the notion of events at the intersection between quantum physics and gravity, inspired by recent research on superpositions of semiclassical spacetimes. By going through…

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 at the Boundary of Spacetime

Viktoria Kabel, Časlav Brukner, Wolfgang Wieland

An analysis is given of the local phase space of gravity coupled to matter to second order in perturbation theory. Working in local regions with boundaries at finite distance, we i…

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…

Quantum conformal symmetries for spacetimes in superposition

Viktoria Kabel, Anne-Catherine de la Hamette, Esteban Castro-Ruiz +1

Without a complete theory of quantum gravity, the question of how quantum fields and quantum particles behave in a superposition of spacetimes seems beyond the reach of theoretical…

Metriplectic geometry for gravitational subsystems

Viktoria Kabel, Wolfgang Wieland

In general relativity, it is difficult to localise observables such as energy, angular momentum, or centre of mass in a bounded region. The difficulty is that there is dissipation.…

Quantum reference frames for an indefinite metric

Anne-Catherine de la Hamette, Viktoria Kabel, Esteban Castro-Ruiz +1

The current theories of quantum physics and general relativity on their own do not allow us to study situations in which the gravitational source is quantum. Here, we propose a str…
