Necessary and sufficient conditions for macroscopic realism from quantum mechanics
L Clemente, J Kofler - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
Macroscopic realism, the classical world view that macroscopic objects exist independently
of and are not influenced by measurements, is usually tested using Leggett-Garg …

Uncertainty relations for coarse–grained measurements: an overview
Uncertainty relations involving incompatible observables are one of the cornerstones of
quantum mechanics. Aside from their fundamental significance, they play an important role …

Quantum nondemolition measurement enables macroscopic Leggett-Garg tests
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 …

Entanglement in macroscopic systems
J Sperling, IA Walmsley - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We present a theoretical study of entanglement in ensembles consisting of an arbitrary
number of particles. Multipartite entanglement criteria in terms of observables are formulated …

How difficult is it to prove the quantumness of macroscropic states?
General wisdom tells us that if two quantum states are “macroscopically distinguishable”
then their superposition should be hard to observe. We make this intuition precise and …

How squeezed states both maximize and minimize the same notion of quantumness
AZ Goldberg, K Heshami - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
Beam splitters are routinely used for generating entanglement between modes in the optical
and microwave domains, requiring input states that are not convex combinations of coherent …

Quantum-to-classical transition via quantum cellular automata
PCS Costa - Quantum Information Processing, 2021 - Springer
A quantum cellular automaton (QCA) is an abstract model consisting of an array of finite-
dimensional quantum systems that evolves in discrete time by local unitary operations. Here …

Proposal for the creation and optical detection of spin cat states in Bose-Einstein condensates
We propose a method to create “spin cat states,” ie, macroscopic superpositions of coherent
spin states, in Bose-Einstein condensates using the Kerr nonlinearity due to atomic …

Comparing various formulations of macrorealism
Y Zhang, X Tan, T Qiu - Quantum Information Processing, 2023 - Springer
Abstract The Leggett–Garg inequality (LGI) is used to test incompatibility between the
classical world view of macrorealism and quantum mechanics. Except for the LGI, other …
