A '''quantum reference frame''' is a reference frame which is treated quantum theoretically. It, like any [[Frame of reference|reference frame]], is an abstract coordinate system which defines physical quantities, such as [[time]], position, [[momentum]], [[spinSpin (particle physics)|spin]], and so on. Because it is treated within the formalism of [[Quantum mechanics|quantum theory]], it has some interesting properties which do not exist in a normal classical reference frame.
