We investigate the physics of quantum reference frames. Specifically, we study several simple scenarios involving a small number of quantum particles, whereby we promote one of these particles to the role of a quantum observer and ask what is the description of the rest of the system, as seen by this observer? We highlight the interesting aspects of such questions by presenting a number of apparent paradoxes. By unravelling these paradoxes we get a better understanding of the physics of quantum reference frames.

Universal $T$-matrices for quantum Poincar\'e groups: contractions and quantum reference frames
A new quantum deformation of the centrally extended Poincaré algebra is introduced whose universal T-matrix contracts to the Galilei T-matrix for quantum reference frames and appears as a central extension of the spac...
