The $$(1+3)$$ ( 1 + 3 ) -dimensional ‘quantum principle of relativity’ is Einstein’s principle of relativity by Matthew J. Lake

“…Physically, it corresponds to staying put within the canonical rest frame, then renaming space as ‘time’ and time as ‘space’. We conclude that their extension of the ‘quantum principle of relativity’, proposed in earlier work on $$(1+1)$$ ( 1 + 1 ) -dimensional spacetimes (Dragan and Ekert in New J Phys 22(3): 033038, 2020), to ordinary Minkowski space, is simply Einstein’s principle of relativity, proposed in 1905.…”
