A relational perspective on the Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We present a novel interpretation of the Wigner-Araki-Yanase (WAY) theorem based on a relational view of quantum mechanics. Several models are analysed in detail, backed up by general considerations, which serve to illustrate ... -
A quantum reference frame size-accuracy trade-off for quantum channels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The imposition of symmetry upon the nature and structure of quantum observables has recently been extensively studied, with quantum reference frames playing a crucial role. In this paper, we extend this work to quantum ... -
Early Validation of Stakeholder Needs by Applying Co‐creation Sessions
