Quantum mechanics and the covariance of physical laws in quantum reference frames
In physics, every observation is made with respect to a frame of reference. Although
reference frames are usually not considered as degrees of freedom, in all practical situations …

[HTML][HTML] A change of perspective: switching quantum reference frames via a perspective-neutral framework
Treating reference frames fundamentally as quantum systems is inevitable in quantum
gravity and also in quantum foundations once considering laboratories as physical systems …

Gravity entanglement, quantum reference systems, degrees of freedom
Gravity mediated entanglement (GME) has been proposed as the first experimentally
testable signature of quantum gravity. However, to what extent the effect is due to quantum …

Quantum clocks observe classical and quantum time dilation
At the intersection of quantum theory and relativity lies the possibility of a clock experiencing
a superposition of proper times. We consider quantum clocks constructed from the internal …

Inference of gravitational field superposition from quantum measurements
Experiments are beginning to probe the interaction of quantum particles with gravitational
fields beyond the uniform-field regime. In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, the …

Quantum relativity of subsystems
One of the most basic notions in physics is the partitioning of a system into subsystems and
the study of correlations among its parts. In this Letter, we explore this notion in the context of …

Quantum superposition of spacetimes obeys Einstein's equivalence principle
F Giacomini, Č Brukner - AVS Quantum Science, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We challenge the view that there is a basic conflict between the fundamental principles of
Quantum Theory and General Relativity and, in particular, the fact that a superposition of …

Spacetime Quantum Reference Frames and superpositions of proper times
F Giacomini - Quantum, 2021 - quantum-journal.org
In general relativity, the description of spacetime relies on idealised rods and clocks, which
