The Leggett-Garg inequalities impose restrictions on the values taken by some combinations of the two-time correlation functions of observables in order to be explainable by a noninvasive-realist classical model. While in the unitary…
We analyze the continuous measurement of two non-commuting observables for a qubit, and investigate whether the simultaneously observed noisy signals are consistent with the evolution of an equivalent classical system. Following the…
Leggett and Garg derived inequalities that probe the boundaries of classical and quantum physics by putting limits on the properties that classical objects can have. Historically, it has been suggested that Leggett-Garg inequalities are…
In 1985, Leggett and Garg put forward the concept of macroscopic realism (macrorealism) and, in analogy to Bell's theorem, derived a necessary condition in terms of inequalities, which are now known as the Leggett-Garg inequalities. In this…
The Bell and Leggett-Garg tests offer operational ways to demonstrate that non-classical behavior manifests itself in quantum systems, and experimentalists have implemented these protocols to show that classical worldviews such as local…
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…
In contrast to Bell's inequalities which test the correlations between multiple spatially separated systems, the Leggett-Garg inequalities test the temporal correlations between measurements of a single system. We experimentally demonstrate…
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 investigate the nonclassicality of an open quantum system using Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) which test the correlations of a single system measured at different times. Violation of LGI implies nonclassical behavior of the open system.…
We propose a test of macrorealism that exploits the contextuality of two-time correlation functions to escape the so-called "clumsiness loophole" that plagues Leggett-Garg inequalities. The non-contextuality of reduced joint probability…
The Leggett-Garg Inequality (LGI) constrains, under certain fundamental assumptions, the correlations between measurements of a quantity Q at different times. Here we analyze the LGI, and propose similar but somewhat more elaborate…
We consider temporal correlations of particles with arbitrary spin. We show that the Leggett-Garg inequality can be maximally violated irrespective of the value of spin, thus improving upon an earlier result by Kofler and Brukner [Phys.…
We investigate the violation of Leggett-Garg (LG) inequalities inquantum dots with the stationarity assumption. By comparing two types of LG inequalities, we find a better one which is easier to be tested in experiment. In addition, we show…
Macro-realism is a fundamental feature of classical world that contradicts with the quantum theory. An elegant method of testing macrorealism is to apply the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI), but the non-invasivity of measurement is…
We investigate violations of Leggett-Garg inequalities (LGIs) for a harmonic oscillator and a (1+1)-dimensional chiral scalar field with coherent-state projectors, which is equivalent to a heterodyne-type measurement scheme. For the…
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…
We consider maximal violations of the Leggett-Garg inequality, obtained by maximising over all possible measurement operators, in relation to non-unitary aspects of the system dynamics. We model the action of an environment on a qubit in…
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…
Violation of the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) implies quantum phenomena. In this light we establish that the Moreva \textit{et al.} \cite{moreva} experiment demonstrating the Page-Wootter's mechanism \cite{wootters} falls in the quantum…
Ambiguous measurements do not reveal complete information about the system under test. Their quantum-mechanical counterparts are semi-weak (or in the limit, weak-) measurements and here we discuss their role in tests of the Leggett-Garg…
