- Abstract: We show that in some cases the coherent state can have a larger violation of
the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) than the cat state by numerical calculations.
To achieve this result, we consider the LGI of the cavity mode weakly coupled
to a zero-temperature environment as a practical instance of the physical
system. We assume that the bosonic mode undergoes dissipation because of an
interaction with the environment but is not affected by dephasing. Solving the
master equation exactly, we derive an explicit form of the violation of the
inequality for both systems prepared initially in the coherent state
$|\alpha\rangle$ and the cat state $(|\alpha\rangle+|-\alpha\rangle)$. For the
evaluation of the inequality, we choose the displaced parity operators
characterized by a complex number $\beta$. We look for the optimum parameter
$\beta$ that lets the upper bound of the inequality be maximum numerically.
Contrary to our expectations, the coherent state occasionally exhibits quantum
quality more strongly than the cat state for the upper bound of the violation
of the LGI in a specific range of three equally spaced measurement times
(spacing $\tau$). Moreover, as we let $\tau$ approach zero, the optimized
parameter $\beta$ diverges and the LGI reveals intense singularity.

We show that for a centered $m$-mode quantum state with finite third-order moments, the trace distance between $rhoboxplus n$ and $rho_G$ decays at the optimal rate of $mathcalO(n-1/2)$.
For states with finite fourth-order moments, we prove that the relative entropy between $rhoboxplus n$ and $rho_G$ decays at the optimal rate of $mathcalO(n-1)$.

We show that for an arbitrary $d$, the optimal state is represented by a $X$-state with an additional property of being symmetric with respect to the secondary diagonal.
Although the coherence of the states is responsible for the speed of evolution, only the coherence caused by some off-diagonal entries located on the secondary diagonal play a role in the fastest states.

For pure states, we give the minimum estimation variance attainable, $V(C)$, and the optimal state, in the limit when the probe system size, $n$, is large.
We show that the variance exhibits a Heisenberg-like scaling, $V(C) sim a_n/C2$, where $a_n$ decreases to $pi2/3$ as $n$ increases, leading to a dimension-independent relation.

We apply the Leggett-Garg inequalities to classical and quantum unstable systems.
For classical systems, the two assumptions of macroscopic realism imply that the three-measurement string $K_3$ is identically equal to one.
For quantum mechanical systems, for which the two assumptions are in general not valid, we find that $K_3=1$ for purely exponential decays.
