• Title: Networks of quantum reference frames and the nature of conserved quantities
• Abstract summary: We show that networks of quantum frames of reference, in which one frame may be used to produce multiple other frames, have counterintuitive properties that make following the exchange of conserved quantities very subtle.

• Abstract: We show that networks of quantum frames of reference, in which one frame may be used to produce multiple other frames that in their turn prepare systems which may interact with one another, have counterintuitive properties that make following the exchange of conserved quantities very subtle, and raise questions about the very nature of conserved quantities. In addition, we present an alternative approach to analysing quantum reference frames that we believe will be useful in discussions related to quantum frames of reference.

  Three approaches to quantum reference frames -- dubbed perspective-neutral, extra particle and operational.<n>We show each of the three approaches provides a distinct transformation rule, which may be understood to reflect differing attitudes towards the global state.<n>This helps us to shed light on the operational meaning of each approach and the contexts in which they may be most naturally applied.

  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.
