| I've only had a year of upper division QM, so I'm not up on the latest
| topics, but I've never seen Newtonian frames of reference mentioned in QM
| at that level before.

The Newtonian frame of references is the one we exist in, where Newton's
laws apply (or seem to). When you observe Einsteinian or Quantum phenomena
at this level, some impossible things appear to happen. They do not
actually happen, they just appear to happen because the Newtonian frame of
reference is an approximation of reality.

Of course, you start getting into the Quantum level and even more bizarre
things actually do happen :).
