AB  - In the tests for macrorealism proposed by Leggett and Garg, the temporal correlation functions of a dichotomic variable Q must be measured in a noninvasive way to rule out alternative classical explanations of Leggett-Garg inequality violations. Ideal negative measurements in which a null result is argued to be a noninvasive determination of the system's state are often used. From a quantum-mechanical perspective, such a measurement collapses the wave function and will therefore typically be found to be invasive under any experimental check. Here, a simple modified ideal negative measurement protocol is described for measuring the correlation functions, which is argued to be noninvasive from both classical and quantum perspectives and hence the noninvasiveness can then be checked experimentally, thereby permitting a quantitative measure of the degree of clumsiness of the measurement. It is also shown how this procedure may be extended to measure higher-order correlation functions, and a number of higher-order conditions for macrorealism are derived.

Note to staff:  Adding new publications to a research group

  1. Log in to Symplectic.
  2. Click on Menu > Create Links
  3. Choose what you want to create links between – in this case ‘Publications’ and ‘Organisational structures’.
  4. Choose the organisational structure (research group) into which you want to link the publications and check the box next to it.
  5. Now check the box of any publication you want to add to that group. You can use the filters to find what you want and select multiple publications if necessary. 
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue ‘Create new link’ button to link them.
  7. The publications will be added to the group, and will be displayed on the group publications feed within 24 hours (it is not immediate).

Any problems, talk to Tim Evans or the Faculty Web Team.
