We investigate the three-term Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) for a two-level quantum system undergoing parity-time (PT ) symmetric dynamics governed by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, when a sequence of dichotomic projective measurements are…

Violations of the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) up to its algebraic bound under non-Hermitian dynamics are well established theoretically. Here, we demonstrate that such extreme violations are intrinsically fragile when realistic…

Quantum theory provides rules governing much of the microscopic world, and among its counter-intuitive consequences are correlations that exceed the bounds from local, classical theories. In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary…

The Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) places a bound for the distinction between quantum systems and classical systems. Despite that the tests of temporal quantum correlations on LGIs have been studied in Hermitian realm, there are still…

We study Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) of a two level system (TLS) undergoing non-Hermitian dynamics governed by a non-linear Bloch equation (derived in J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 54, 115301 (2021)) across a PT-transition. We present an…

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 $N$ that can be accessed by the measurement…

Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) studies the temporal correlation in the evolution of physical systems. Classical systems obey the LGI but quantum systems may violate it. The extent of the violation depends on the dimension of the quantum…

We formulate a spatial extension of the Leggett-Garg inequality by considering three distant observers locally measuring a many-body system at three subsequent times. The spatial form, in particular, is specially suited to analyze…

We study Leggett-Garg inequalities (LGIs) for a two level system (TLS) undergoing Markovian dynamics described by unital maps. We find analytic expression of LG parameter $K_{3}$ (simplest variant of LGIs) in terms of the parameters of two…

We report an unusual buildup of the quantum coherence in a qubit subjected to non-Hermitian evolution generated by a Parity-Time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric Hamiltonian, which is reinterpreted as a Hermitian system in a higher dimensional…

Leggett-Garg inequalities are tests of macroscopic realism that can be violated by quantum mechanics. In this letter, we realise photonic Leggett-Garg tests on a three-level system and implement measurements that admit three distinct…

Leggett Garg inequalities (LGIs) test the incompatibility between the notion of macrorealism and quantum mechanics. For unitary dynamics, the optimal quantum violation of an LGI is constrained by the L\"uders bound. However, the LGIs does…
