What is a (spatial) frame of reference in quantum mechanics?
When we make a transformation e.g. in a H-atom from the proton frame of reference to the electron frame of reference. The whole point of QM is that the electron cannot be treated as a dot somewhere in space but that it has an associated wavefunction and only acquires a certain position when I make an appropriate measurement. So how can I transform to the electron frame of reference making the origin to be the position of the electron if I don't know it?
