Title: Quantum resource covariance
Authors: Matheus Fritsch Savi and Renato Moreira Angelo
Abstract summary: Since the dawn of quantum mechanics there is no consensus on what the theory is all about. We construct a theoretical framework within which a given combination of quantum resources is shown to be a Galilean invariant. We show that the notion of physical reality implied by quantum mechanics is not absolute.

Abstract: The developments of special relativity and quantum mechanics marked the beginning of the modern physics age. The former has taught us that while space and time are frame dependent notions, there is a quantity -- the space-time interval -- whose value all inertial observers agree upon. This reveals, so to speak, a genuine "fact" of the universe, a relativistic invariant. On the other hand, since the dawn of quantum mechanics, there is no consensus on what the theory is all about. The situation is admittedly subtler: quantum theory is grounded on a complex vector space and the very notions of observer and reference frame are controversial. Here we construct a theoretical framework within which a given combination of quantum resources is shown to be a Galilean invariant. To this end, we postulate a principle of relational symmetry between "the observer" and "the observed" and employ the notion of quantum reference frame. Unitary transformations then follow that allow us to perceive the physical resources seen from the viewpoint of any quantum system. Interestingly, we find that one needs more than quantum coherence and quantum correlations to prove quantum resources covariance. Finally, we show that the notion of physical reality implied by quantum mechanics is not absolute.

We argue that if both the equivalence principle and quantum mechanics continue to survive experimental tests, that this favors epistemic'' interpretations of quantum mechanics.

Relativistic time dilation from a quantum mechanism [0.0]
We show that Lorentz transformations are obtained by a quantum mechanism. We postulate this mechanism as the source of the phenomena of Special Relativity. In this theory, the fundamental limit of the speed of light imposes a transparency condition for faster-than-light particles.

Quantum Relativity [0.0]
A new quantum postulate is suggested to restore classical locality and causality to quantum physics. This postulate supports the EPR view that quantum mechanics is incomplete, while also staying compatible to the Bohr view that nothing exists beyond the quantum.

Is there a finite complete set of monotones in any quantum resource theory? [39.58317527488534]
We show that there does not exist a finite set of resource monotones which completely determines all state transformations. We show that totally ordered theories allow for free transformations between all pure states.

Quantum Instability [30.674987397533997]
We show how a time-independent, finite-dimensional quantum system can give rise to a linear instability corresponding to that in the classical system. An unstable quantum system has a richer spectrum and a much longer recurrence time than a stable quantum system.

Is spacetime quantum? [0.0]
We show a theorem stating that spacetime degrees of freedom and a quantum system violate a Bell inequality in a background Minkowski spacetime. We argue that this implies that spacetime cannot be sensibly called classical if the assumptions in our theorem hold.

Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
