• Abstract summary: Leggett Garg inequalities (LGIs) test the incompatibility between the notion of macrorealism and quantum mechanics. We show that for the case of standard LGI, the quantum violation of L"uders bound can be obtained when both NSIT and AOT conditions are violated. For the case of a variant of LGI, for suitable choices of relevant parameters, the quantum violation can even be obtained when only the AOT is violated.

• Abstract: Leggett Garg inequalities (LGIs) test the incompatibility between the notion of macrorealism and quantum mechanics. For unitary dynamics, the optimal quantum violation of an LGI is constrained by the L\"uders bound. However, the LGIs does not provide the necessary and sufficient for macrorealism. A suitably formulated set of no-signaling in time (NSIT) conditions along with the arrow-of-time (AOT) condition provides the same. In this paper, we study two formulations in the three-time LG scenario, viz., the standard LGIs and the recently formulated variant of LGIs when the system evolves under $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian. We first demonstrate that the quantum violations of both forms of LGIs exceed their respective L\"uders bounds and can even reach their algebraic maximum. We further show that for the case of standard LGI, the violation of L\"uders bound can be obtained when both NSIT and AOT conditions are violated. Interestingly, for the case of a variant of LGI, for suitable choices of relevant parameters, the quantum violation can even be obtained when only the AOT is violated but all NSIT conditions are satisfied. This feature has not hitherto been demonstrated. We discuss the further implication of our study.

  We apply the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) to a non-Hermitian system of ultracold Fermi gas with dissipation. Beyond a certain dissipation threshold, the LGI violation weakens, indicating a quantum-to-classical transition (QCT) This study provides a crucial stepping stone for using the LGI to explore the QCT in many-body open quantum systems.

  Gradient Descent (SGD) has been the method of choice for learning large-scale non-root models. An overarching paper is providing general conditions SGD converges, assuming that GF on the population loss converges. We provide a unified analysis for GD/SGD not only for classical settings like convex losses, but also for more complex problems including Retrieval Matrix sq-root.

  Leggett Garg inequalities (LGIs) provide an elegant way for probing the incompatibility between the notion of macrorealism and quantum mechanics. We show that if the system evolves under a non-unitary quantum channel between two measurements, the quantum violations of both forms of LGIs exceed their respective L"uders bounds.

  We present a simple method to calculate the temporal correlation functions appearing in the LG inequalities for any bound system. We find substantial regions of parameter space in which the LG inequalities at two, three and four times can each be independently violated or satisfied. We also show that two-time LG violations in a gaussian state are readily found if the dichotomic variable at one of the times is taken to be the parity operator.
