Recently there has been much effort in developing a quantum generalisation of reference frame transformations. Despite important progress, a complete understanding of their principles is still lacking. In particular, we argue that previous proposals could yield reversible transformations between arbitrary quantum reference frames only when applied to the whole universe. In contrast, here we derive quantum reference frame transformations from first principles, using only standard quantum theory. Our framework, naturally based on incoherent rather than coherent group averaging, yields reversible transformations that only depend on the reference frames and system of interest. We find more general transformations than those studied so far, which are valid only in a restricted subspace. Importantly, our framework contains additional degrees of freedom in the form of an "extra particle," which carries information about the quantum features of reference frame states. Our formalism is valid for a broad range of symmetry groups. We study the centrally extended Galilei group specifically, highlighting key differences from previous proposals.

Quantum reference frames beyond subsystems: a reconstruction and generalization of the perspective-neutral framework
Quantum reference frames need not be subsystems: covariant instruments suffice, recovering the perspective-neutral framework operationally and enabling labeling frames and exact interacting relational clocks.

How many degrees of freedom describe a quantum N-particle state?
For closed quantum N-particle systems all 3N canonical degrees of freedom are physical; the frame degrees of freedom that relational models discard reappear as non-Heisenberg terms in generalised uncertainty relations...

Relational entanglement entropies and quantum reference frames in gauge theories

Subsystem entanglement and separability in quantum reference frames
Passive quantum reference frame transformations cannot increase entanglement among physical systems: if the physical state is separable in a standard axis, it remains separable after any passive frame change.

On the relation between perspective-neutral, algebraic, and effective quantum reference frames
For ideal quantum reference frames with a single constraint, the perspective-neutral, algebraic, and effective semiclassical approaches describe the same physics and the same frame-switching rules.

Specifying the operational meaning of quantum reference frames
Position-superposed labs define quantum reference frames operationally, differ from Wigner's-friend observers, and can broadcast outcomes without decohering their position superposition.

What can we do in a symmetry-constrained perspective? The importance of the total charge's status in quantum reference frame frameworks
A two-observer Z2 toy model is used to argue that internal observers can access the total charge, favoring weak over strong symmetry in quantum reference frame frameworks.
