Abstract: Recent advances in our understanding of foundations of quantum mechanics have shown that information can be made objective through quantum states. Such objectification processes, predicted e.g. in a variety of quantum open systems, must accompany any realistic quantum-to-classical transition mechanism in order to reproduce the objective character of the classical limit of our world. However, so far only examples of simple, unstructured information, such as a value of an observable, have been studied. In this work we show that a more complicated form of information, given by a Cartesian reference frame, can also be made (at least partially) objective in quantum mechanics. The non-trivial internal gauge structure of reference frames, given by the transformation group, leads to a more general form of objectivity, where all observers see the same but modulo their relative orientations, like it happens in modern understanding of geometry. This opens a way to extend quantum objectivity beyond simple scenarios and possibly link it to the foundations of modern geometry.

Postulating the Unicity of the Macroscopic Physical World [0.0]
We argue that the unicity of the macroscopic world is a fundamental postulate of physics, rather than an issue that must be mathematically justified or demonstrated. This is made possible by using general operator algebras to extend the mathematical description of the physical world towards macroscopic systems.

Quantum data learning for quantum simulations in high-energy physics [55.41644538483948]
We explore the applicability of quantum-data learning to practical problems in high-energy physics. We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

The study of topological phases of matter characterized by Chern number is rooted in the symplectic structure of the quantum state space. The fidelity susceptibility has gained prominence as a universal probe of quantum criticality. The study of quantum Fisher information in many body systems has seen a surge of interest due to its role as a witness of genuine multipartite entanglement.

General framework of quantum complementarity from a measurement-based perspective [6.073419957391949]
We develop a framework for demonstrating quantum complementarity in the form of information exclusion relations. We explore the applications of our theory in entanglement witnessing and elucidate that our IERs lead to an extended form of entropic uncertainty relations.

Quantum reference frames: derivation of perspective-dependent descriptions via a perspective-neutral structure [0.0]
We develop a symmetry-inspired approach to describe physics from the perspective of quantum reference frames. We show that the operationally meaningful perspective dependent descriptions are given by Darboux coordinates on the constraint surface. We conclude by constructing a quantum perspective neutral structure, via which we can derive and change perspective dependent descriptions.

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.

Entropic Uncertainty Relations and the Quantum-to-Classical transition [77.34726150561087]
We aim to shed some light on the quantum-to-classical transition as seen through the analysis of uncertainty relations. We employ entropic uncertainty relations to show that it is only by the inclusion of imprecision in our model of macroscopic measurements that we can prepare a system with two simultaneously well-defined quantities.
