• Abstract: Macrorealism formalizes the intuitive notion that at any given time the system occupies a definite state and that the evolution of the system is independent of the measurements performed on it, in contrast to the principles of quantum mechanics. In this study, we carry out a comparative analysis between three-time Leggett--Garg-type inequalities and the conditions of no-signaling-in-time and arrow-of-time for macrorealism within the context of meson oscillations. Our findings indicate that, under given initial conditions, no violations of Leggett--Garg inequalities are observed. However, no-signaling-in-time conditions are found to be violated, thereby revealing the impossibility of applying a macrorealistic description to the analysis of meson physics.

• Enhanced non-macrorealism: Extreme violations of Leggett-Garg inequalities for a system evolving under superposition of unitaries [0.0]
  Quantum theory contravenes classical macrorealism by allowing a system to be in a superposition of two or more physically distinct states. We show that a system, upon subjecting to transform under superposition of unitary operators, exhibits enhanced non-macrorealistic feature.

• 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.

• Shared randomness allows violation of macroscopic realism using a single measurement [0.0]
  We show that if one has access to shared randomness then one can observe a violation of macroscopic realism using a single measurement. We further construct a witness to observe the violation of macroscopic no-signalling.

  We study how the quantum dynamics transforms into a classical-like behaviour when conditions related with macroscopicity are met by the clock alone. In the description of this emerging behaviour finds its place the classical notion of time, as well as that of phase-space and trajectories on it.

  We compare two consistent approaches to the Page-Wootters formalism to clarify the operational meaning of evolution and measurements. We show that for non-ideal clocks, the purified measurement approach yields time non-local, non-unitary evolution.

  We review recent progress in characterizing macrorealist and quantum temporal correlations, and in closing loopholes associated with Leggett-Garg tests. We review recent definitions of nonclassical temporal correlations, which go beyond macrorealist models by relaxing the assumption on the measurement disturbance.

• Interference experiment, anomalous weak value and Leggett-Garg test of macrorealism [0.0]
  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.
