• Abstract: A. Dragan and A. Ekert [New Journal of Physics, 22(3), p.033038.] have recently claimed that fundamental properties of quantum physics (e.g. fundamental indeterminism and the principle of superposition) can be derived solely from relativistic considerations, if one takes as physically meaningful superluminal reference frames. In this comment we show that their arguments are flawed and their claims therefore unwarranted.

• Quantum Principle of Relativity and The Renormalizable Quantum Gravity [3.4447129363520337]
  We develop a purely quantum theory based on the novel principle of relativity, termed the quantum principle of relativity. We demonstrate that the essence of the principle of relativity can be naturally extended into the quantum realm, maintaining the identical structures of active and passive transformations.

  We experimentally observe single photons' propagators based on the method of directly measuring quantum wave-functions. We obtain the classical trajectories of the single photons in free space and in a harmonic trap based on the extremum of the observed propagators. Our work paves the way for experimentally exploring fundamental problems of quantum theory in the formulation of path integrals.

• The equivalence principle and inertial-gravitational decoherence [0.0]
  We look at proposals for "witnessing" quantum gravity via entanglement from the point of view of Bronstein's original objection to a quantization of gravity. We argue that this "failure" is actually an inherent feature of any quantum description. In the second part, we speculate on how an exact realization of the equivalence principle might be implemented in an effective quantum field theory.

• Inference of gravitational field superposition from quantum measurements [1.7246954941200043]
  In non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the gravitational field in such experiments can be written as a superposition state. We empirically demonstrate that alternative theories of gravity can avoid gravitational superposition states. Proposed experiments with superposed gravitational sources would provide even stronger evidence that gravity is nonclassical.

• Quantum superposition of spacetimes obeys Einstein's Equivalence Principle [0.0]
  We argue that the Equivalence Principle can be generalised so that it holds for reference frames associated to quantum systems in a superposition of spacetimes. This procedure reconciles the principle of linear superposition in Quantum Theory with the principle of general covariance and the Equivalence Principle of General Relativity.

• 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.
