Quantum meronomic frames

Abstract

Composite quantum systems can be decomposed into subsystems in many different inequivalent ways. We call a particular decomposition a meronomic reference frame for the system. We apply the ideas of quantum reference frames to characterize meronomic frames, identify tasks that require such frames to accomplish, and show how asymmetric quantum states can be used to embody meronomic frame information.
