Quantum reference frames, revisited. (arXiv:2312.03811v1 [gr-qc])   from  quant-ph  by  Matthew J. Lake, Marek Miller Fri Dec 08 2023 12:50:44 (1 day) # 1. The topic of quantum reference frames (QRFs) has attracted a great deal of attention in the recent literature. Potentially, the correct description of such frames is important for both the technological applications of quantum mechanics and… Read more →

Which black hole is spinning? Probing the origin of black-hole spin with gravitational waves. (arXiv:2311.05182v1 [astro-ph.HE])   from  gr-qc  by  Christian Adamcewicz, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane Fri Nov 10 2023 11:42:01 (23 hours) # 1. Theoretical studies of angular momentum transport suggest that isolated stellar-mass black holes are born with negligible dimensionless spin magnitudes $\chi \lesssim 0.01$. However, recent… Read more →

Philcox Observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have cemented the notion that the large-scale Universe is both statistically homogeneous and isotropic. But is it invariant also under reflections? To probe this we require… Read more →
