The Perspectives of Non-Ideal Quantum Reference Frames
read the original abstract
We define the perspective of any quantum reference frame (QRF) and construct reversible transformations between different perspectives. Our construction is based on two principles motivated operationally by the change from relative to absolute coordinates and leads to an incoherent group averaging approach with general symmetry group. Thereby, it extends the framework of [arXiv:2110.13199] from ideal QRFs, which generally require infinite resources like energy or angular momentum, to non-ideal QRFs, with only finite resources. We find that the perspective of a non-ideal QRF deviates significantly from that of an ideal QRF: Firstly, systems described relative to a non-ideal QRF appear superselected. Secondly, the structure of the perspective of a non-ideal QRF attests that successive relational operations on a system lead to back-reaction on this QRF.

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.

Frame-Dependent Traces and the Third-Particle Paradox
The Third-Particle Paradox is not a contradiction: the authors characterize exactly which states allow consistent subsystem discarding in the perspective-neutral and quantum-information approaches.

Relational path integral, effective actions and quantum frame covariance in gravity
The gravitational path integral is reformulated with dynamical reference frames, producing gauge-invariant correlators, frame-dependent vacua, and effective actions, with sharpness of events becoming frame-relative.

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...

Indefinite probabilities in quantum spacetime: A deepening of unpredictability
Using the SU_q(2) quantum group for spin rotations yields non-commuting probability operators, implying indefinite probabilities and preventing sharp determination of relative observer orientations.
