• Abstract summary: We show that boosted observers observe their spin states to be either bound entangled, separable or free entangled. This also explains why a general measure of the entanglement property is difficult to find.

• Abstract: Bound entanglement, in contrast to free entanglement, cannot be distilled into maximally entangled states by two local observers applying measurements and utilizing classical communication. In this paper we ask whether a relativistic observer classifies states according to being separable, bound or free entangled in the same manner as an unboosted observer. Surprisingly, this turns out not to be the case. And that even if the system in a given inertial frame of reference is separable with respect to the partition momenta versus spins. In detail, we show that if the spin state is initially bound entangled, some boosted observers observe their spin states to be either bound entangled, separable or free entangled. This also explains why a general measure of the entanglement property is difficult to find.

  How do relational observables actually make contact with experience? I argue that this question can only be answered by providing a schematization of the observer. I consider what this means for the prospects of using quantum reference frames to address the problem of time.

  A proper accounting of the role played by an observer promotes the von Neumann algebra of observables in a given spacetime subregion. We show that this procedure depends on which observer is employed. We make this precise by considering a setup in which many possible observers are present.

• Complete complementarity relations and its Lorentz invariance [0.0]
  It is well known that entanglement under Lorentz boosts is highly dependent on the boost scenario in question. We show here that entanglement entropy does not remain invariant under Lorentz boosts, and neither do the measures of predictability and coherence. In addition, we explore relativistic scenarios for single and two particle states, which helps in understanding the exchange of different aspects of a quantum system under Lorentz boosts.
