• Abstract: Leggett-Garg Inequality~(LGI) is a time analogue of Bell's inequality that concerns measurements performed on a system at different times. Violation to LGI indicates quantum coherence. We present a Leggett-Garg-type inequality compatible with more general neutrino oscillation frameworks, allowing the effects of decoherence to be taken into consideration. The inequality is applied to test coherence for data from Daya Bay, MINOS, and KamLAND experiments, and their results are compared to theoretical predictions to investigate decoherence. Both Daya Bay and MINOS data exhibit clear violations of over $10\sigma$, and of over 90$\%$ of theoretical predictions, while the KamLAND data exhibit violation of $1.9\sigma$, being of 58$\%$ of the theoretical prediction. The present work is the first to have considered the energy uncertainties in neutrino coherence tests.

  We develop an angular analysis based on the reconstruction of the helicity amplitudes from dedicated experimental data corresponding to the tripartite state composed by one qutrit and two qubits. As an application of our analysis, we performed a full quantum tomography of the final state in the $B0to K*0mu+mu-$ decays using data recorded by LHCb collaboration.

  We show that the present LHCb data allows access to entanglement and to the Bell inequality violation with a significance exceeding the 5$sigma$ threshold. This demonstrates that the strong and electroweak interactions responsible for the $B$ meson decay act as a source of entanglement and the quantum mechanics nature of high-energy phenomena.

• Observing super-quantum correlations across the exceptional point in a single, two-level trapped ion [48.7576911714538]
  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.
