Investigating Leggett-Garg inequality for a two level system under decoherence in a non-Markovian dephasing environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Leggett-Garg inequalities (LGI) test the correlations of a single system measured at different times. Violation of LGI implies either the absence of a realistic description of the system or the impossibility of measuring the system without disturbing it. We investigate the violation of the Leggett-Garg inequality for a two level system under decoherence in a non-Markovian dephasing environment. We discuss the non-Markovian dynamics of the violation of LGI at zero temperature and also at finite temperature for different structured environments. An enhanced quantum coherence is shown through the violation of Leggett-Garg inequality in the strong non-Markovian regime of the environment.

Overview: Brownian Motion and Dephasing due to Dynamical Disorder
The motion of a particle under the influence of a dynamical disorder is described by the DLD model. One motivation is to understand the motion of an electron inside a metal; Another is to understand quantal Brownian motion. The overview is based on a research report for 1996-1998. A generic toy model for quantal Brownian motion that takes into account the disordered nature of an environment (Se...
متن کاملExperimental violation of the Leggett-Garg inequality under decoherence
Despite the great success of quantum mechanics, questions regarding its application still exist and the boundary between quantum and classical mechanics remains unclear. Based on the philosophical assumptions of macrorealism and noninvasive measurability, Leggett and Garg devised a series of inequalities (LG inequalities) involving a single system with a set of measurements at different times. ...
متن کاملCompletely-Positive Non-Markovian Decoherence
We propose an effective Hamiltonian approach to investigate decoherence of a quantum system in a non-Markovian reservoir, naturally imposing the complete positivity on the reduced dynamics of the system. The formalism is based on the notion of an effective reservoir, i.e., certain collective degrees of freedom in the reservoir that are responsible for the decoherence. As examples for completely...
متن کاملMacrorealism inequality for optoelectromechanical systems
We show how to apply the Leggett-Garg inequality to opto-electro-mechanical systems near their quantum ground state. We find that by using a dichotomic quantum nondemolition measurement (via, e.g., an additional circuit-QED measurement device), either on the cavity or on the nano-mechanical system itself, the Leggett-Garg inequality is violated. We argue that only measurements on the mechanical...
متن کاملLeggett-Garg Inequalities for Squeezed States
Temporal Bell inequalities, or Leggett-Garg Inequalities (LGI), are studied for continuous-variable systems placed in a squeezed state. The importance of those systems lies in their broad applicability which allows the description of many different physical settings in various branches of physics, ranging from cosmology to condensed matter physics and from optics to quantum information theory. ...
