We consider a macroscopic quantum system in a tilted double-well potential. By solving Hamiltonian equation, we obtain tunneling probabilities which contain oscillation effects. To show how one can decide between quantum mechanics and the…
All existing experimental results are currently interpreted using classical geometry. However, there are theoretical reasons to suspect that at a deeper level, geometry emerges as an approximate macroscopic behavior of a quantum system at…
Fluctuations of the work performed on a driven quantum system can be characterized by the so-called fluctuation theorems. The Jarzynski relation and the Crooks theorem are famous examples of exact equalities characterizing non-equilibrium…
The Leggett-Garg inequality attempts to classify experimental outcomes as arising from one of two possible classes of physical theories: those described by macrorealism (which obey our intuition about how the macroscopic classical world…
The Leggett-Garg (LG) inequalities were proposed in order to assess whether sets of pairs of sequential measurements on a single quantum system can be consistent with an underlying notion of macrorealism. Here, the LG inequalities are…
The question whether Quantum Mechanics describes all aspects of both the micro-world of elementary particles and living organisms adequately is still open. A Bell inequality test without locality and detection loopholes will deliver the…
In two-party, two-input and two-output measurement scenario only relevant Bell's inequality is the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) form. They also provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for local realism. Any other form, such as,…
The correlations between successive measurements of a quantum system can violate a family of Leggett-Garg Inequalities (LGIs) that are analogous to the violation of Bell's inequalities of measurements performed on spatially separated…
We construct quantifiable generalisations of Leggett-Garg tests for macro/ mesoscopic realism and noninvasive measurability that apply when not all outcomes of measurement can be identified as arising from one of two macroscopically…
Nonlocality is one of the main characteristic features of quantum systems involving more than one spatially separated subsystems. It is manifested theoretically as well as experimentally through violation of some local realistic inequality.…
Violations of Bell inequalities have been an incontestable indicator of non-classicality since the seminal paper by John Bell. However, recent claims of Bell inequalities violations with classical light have cast some doubts on their…
We report on an experiment that demonstrates the violation of a Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) with neutrons. LGIs have been proposed in order to assess how far the predictions of quantum mechanics defy macroscopic realism. With LGIs,…
The Leggett-Garg inequalities are a set of inequalities obeyed by classical systems but violated in quantum theory. Their violation has been taken as evidence that quantum theory lacks a `realistic' formulation. However in addition to…
In the Leggett-Garg approach to testing macrorealism, the two-time correlation functions, which are normally obtained by sequential measurements of a dichotomic variable Q, need to be measured in a non-invasive way in order to exclude…
We show how a test of macroscopic realism based on Leggett-Garg inequalities (LGIs) can be performed in a macroscopic system. Using a continuous-variable approach, we consider quantum non-demolition (QND) measurements applied to atomic…
We show violations of Leggett-Garg inequalities to be possible for single-mode cat-states evolving dynamically in the presence of a nonlinear quantum interaction arising from, for instance, a Kerr medium. In order to prove the results, we…
It remains an open question how realist view of macroscopic world emerges from quantum formalism. For testing the macrorealism in quantum domain, an interesting approach was put forward by Leggett and Garg in $1985$, by formulating a…
The correspondence principle suggests that quantum systems grow classical when large. Classical systems cannot violate Bell inequalities. Yet agents given substantial control can violate Bell inequalities proven for large-scale systems. We…
We provide an overview of a canonical formalism that describes mixed quantum-classical systems in terms of statistical ensembles on configuration space, and discuss applications to measurement theory. It is shown that the formalism allows a…
For multilevel spin systems, robustness of the quantum mechanical (QM) violation of macrorealism (MR) with respect to coarse grained measurements is investigated using three different necessary conditions of MR, namely, the Leggett-Garg…
