Temporal quantum correlations and Leggett-Garg inequalities in multi-level systems

Quantum Physics 2014-07-31 v3

Abstract

We show that the quantum bound for temporal correlations in a Leggett-Garg test, analogous to the Tsirelson bound for spatial correlations in a Bell test, strongly depends on the number of levels NN that can be accessed by the measurement apparatus via projective measurements. We provide exact bounds for small NN, that exceed the known bound for the Leggett-Garg inequality, and show that in the limit NN\rightarrow \infty the Leggett-Garg inequality can be violated up to its algebraic maximum.
