- Abstract: Macro-realism is a fundamental feature of classical world that contradicts
with the quantum theory. An elegant method of testing macrorealism is to apply
the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI), but the non-invasivity of measurement is
challenging in practice. In this work, we report the LGI violation of path
observable in a composite interference experiment with coherent light.
Experiment results confirm the occurrence of destructive interference providing
per se as evidence of macro-realism violation. And by using an exact weak
measurement model in the present experiment, the advantage that the violation
of realism is independent of the invasive strength allows the realization of
direct measurement and strengthens the persuasion of verification at the
macroscopic scale.

We propose a simple and elegant scheme based on indefinite causal order in quantum switch experiment, which enables us to close this loophole.

A recent experiment has used entangled light and negative measurements to demonstrate a loophole-free test of macrorealism.
This paper shows that such an experiment, while soundly rejecting macrorealism, may nevertheless be open to a classical interpretation.
A numerical analysis of the model shows good agreement with experimental observations and consistency with both local realism and a rejection of macrorealism.

We find that it may stem from the improperly defined robust error, which imposes an inductive bias of local invariance.
By definition, SCORE facilitates the reconciliation between robustness and accuracy, while still handling the worst-case uncertainty.

We argue that whenever quantum effect is observed in an interference experiment there is an existence of anomalous weak value.
Since the system itself serves as apparatus in a path-only interference experiment, one cannot salvage the macrorealism by abandoning the non-invasive measurability assumption.
