Description

Abstract:
Reduced phase space quantisation of general relativity is a promising route to
quantum gravity. We show that this offers a natural interface with quantum reference frames. The talk focuses on conceptual ideas and connections with related
research areas such as constraint quantisation, relational and Dirac observables and addresses some frequently asked questions that arise in this context.
