Kochen-specker contextuality

C Budroni, A Cabello, O Gühne, M Kleinmann… - Reviews of Modern …, 2022 - APS
A central result in the foundations of quantum mechanics is the Kochen-Specker theorem. In
short, it states that quantum mechanics is in conflict with classical models in which the result …

Leggett–garg inequalities

C Emary, N Lambert, F Nori - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
In contrast to the spatial Bell's inequalities which probe entanglement between spatially
separated systems, the Leggett–Garg inequalities test the correlations of a single system …

Quasiprobabilities in quantum thermodynamics and many-body systems

S Gherardini, G De Chiara - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
In this tutorial, we present the definition, interpretation, and properties of some of the main
quasiprobabilities that can describe the statistics of measurement outcomes evaluated at …

Macroscopic quantum states: Measures, fragility, and implementations

F Fröwis, P Sekatski, W Dür, N Gisin… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018 - APS
Large-scale quantum effects have always played an important role in the foundations of
quantum theory. With recent experimental progress and the aspiration for quantum …

Witnessing quantum coherence: from solid-state to biological systems

CM Li, N Lambert, YN Chen, GY Chen, F Nori - Scientific reports, 2012 - nature.com
Quantum coherence is one of the primary non-classical features of quantum systems. While
protocols such as the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) and quantum tomography can be used …

Completely positive divisibility does not mean Markovianity

S Milz, MS Kim, FA Pollock, K Modi - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
In the classical domain, it is well known that divisibility does not imply that a stochastic
process is Markovian. However, for quantum processes, divisibility is often considered to be …

A strict experimental test of macroscopic realism in a superconducting flux qubit

GC Knee, K Kakuyanagi, MC Yeh, Y Matsuzaki… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Macroscopic realism is the name for a class of modifications to quantum theory that allow
macroscopic objects to be described in a measurement-independent manner, while largely …

Detecting large quantum Fisher information with finite measurement precision

F Fröwis, P Sekatski, W Dür - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We propose an experimentally accessible scheme to determine the lower bounds on the
quantum Fisher information (QFI), which ascertains multipartite entanglement or usefulness …

No fine theorem for macrorealism: Limitations of the Leggett-Garg inequality

L Clemente, J Kofler - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Tests of local realism and macrorealism have historically been discussed in very similar
terms: Leggett-Garg inequalities follow Bell inequalities as necessary conditions for classical …

Sequential modular position and momentum measurements of a trapped ion mechanical oscillator

C Flühmann, V Negnevitsky, M Marinelli, JP Home - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
The noncommutativity of position and momentum observables is a hallmark feature of
quantum physics. However, this incompatibility does not extend to observables that are …
