    On Deriving Space-Time From Quantum Observables and States

    We prove that, under suitable assumptions, operationally motivated data completely determine a space-time in which the quantum systems can be interpreted as evolving. At the same time, the dynamics of the quantum system is also determined. To minimize technical complications, this is done in the example of three-dimensional Minkowski space.Comment: 19 pages, to appear in Communications in Mathematical Physics; minor corrections mad
