We introduce observables associated with the space-time position of a quantum point defined by the intersection of two light pulses. The time observable is canonically conjugated to the energy. Conformal symmetry of massless quantum fields is used first to build the definition of these observables and then to describe their relativistic properties under frame transformations. The transformations to accelerated frames of the space-time observables depart from the laws of classical relativity. The Einstein laws for the shifts of clock rates and frequencies are recovered in the quantum description, and their formulation provides a conformal metric factor behaving as a quantum observable.
