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, Äaslav 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…
