Leggett Garg inequalities (LGIs) provide an elegant way for probing the incompatibility between the notion of macrorealism and quantum mechanics. For unitary dynamics, the optimal quantum violation of a LGI is constrained by the L\"uders…

Leggett-Garg's inequalities predict sharp bounds for some classical correlation functions that address the quantum or classical nature of real-time evolutions. We experimentally observe the violations of these bounds on single- and…

We prove that a violation of a Leggett-Garg inequality for bounded observables in stationary pure states and thermal states yields a rigorous lower bound on the quantum Fisher information. This turns a qualitative foundations test of…

Quantum correlations, both spatial and temporal, are the central pillars of quantum mechanics. Over the last two decades, a big breakthrough in quantum physics is its complex extension to the non-Hermitian realm, and dizzying varieties of…

The concept of quantum acceleration limit has been recently introduced for any unitary time evolution of quantum systems under arbitrary nonstationary Hamiltonians. While Alsing and Cafaro [Int. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys. 21, 2440009…

We investigate the violation of the Leggett-Garg inequalities for a harmonic oscillator in various quantum states. We focus on the two-time quasi-probability distribution function with a dichotomic variable constructed with the position…

We investigate Leggett-Garg temporal inequalities in flavor-mixing processes. We derive an exact flavor-mass uncertainty product and we establish that it is an upper bound to the violation of the inequalities. This finding relates temporal…

In a recent Letter [PRL, 113, 050401 (2014)], it is shown that the quantum violation of a three-time Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) for a dichotomic qutrit system can exceed the L$\ddot{u}$ders bound. This is obtained by using a degeneracy…
