• Abstract: Leggett and Garg formulated macrorealist models encoding our intuition on classical systems, i.e., physical quantities have a definite value that can be measured with minimal disturbance, and with the goal of testing macroscopic quantum coherence effects. The associated inequalities, involving the statistics of sequential measurements on the system, are violated by quantum mechanical predictions and experimental observations. Such tests, however, are subject to loopholes: a classical explanation can be recovered assuming specific models of measurement disturbance. We review recent theoretical and experimental progress in characterizing macrorealist and quantum temporal correlations, and in closing loopholes associated with Leggett-Garg tests. Finally, we review recent definitions of nonclassical temporal correlations, which go beyond macrorealist models by relaxing the assumption on the measurement disturbance, and their applications in sequential quantum information processing.

  We introduce a new class of local deterministic models that account for both particle preparation and measurement settings. Our model reproduces the quantum mechanical predictions under the assumption of relaxed measurement independence. Our findings highlight the nuanced relationship between local determinism and quantum mechanics, offering new insights into the nature of quantum correlations and hidden variables.

  We take the probabilistic nature of quantum measurements into account in classical modelling and discuss these quantities under a single unified learning framework. We provide provable guarantees for learning parameterized quantum models that also quantify the asymmetrical effects and interplay of the two variables on the performance of learning algorithms. Our work provides new tools to analyse the operational influence of finite measurement noise in the classical learning of quantum systems.

  We introduce Lindblad-like quantum tomography (L$ell$QT) as a quantum characterization technique of time-correlated noise in quantum information processors. We discuss L$ell$QT for the dephasing dynamics of single qubits in detail, which allows for a neat understanding of the importance of including multiple snapshots of the quantum evolution in the likelihood function.

• Tests of Macrorealism in Discrete and Continuous Variable Systems [0.0]
  I study several aspects of tests of macrorealism (MR), which for a given data set serves to give a quantitative signal of the presence of a specific notion of non-classical behaviour. I derive generalisations of the Leggett-Garg inequalities and Fine's theorem, which together establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for macrorealism. I then develop the theoretical framework to support tests of macrorealism in continuous variable systems.

  In quadratic fermionic models we determine a quantum correction to the work statistics after a sudden and a time-dependent driving. Such a correction lies in the non-commutativity of the initial quantum state and the time-dependent Hamiltonian. Thanks to the latter, one can assess the onset of non-classical signatures in the KDQ distribution of work.

• Characterizing quantum instruments: from non-demolition measurements to quantum error correction [48.43720700248091]
  In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data. Non-unitary dynamical processes can take place on the system, for which common quantum channel descriptions fail to describe the time evolution. Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.

  We introduce a scenario of measurement-induced many body evolution, which possesses an exact analytical solution: bosonic measurements. We consider an elementary model for quantum criticality, the free boson conformal field theory, and investigate in which way criticality is modified under measurements. For each scenario, we discuss the impact of imperfect measurements, which reduce the purity of the wavefunction and are equivalent to Markovian decoherence.
