• Abstract summary: Quantum non-demolition measurements define a non-invasive protocol to extract information from a quantum system. This protocol leads to a quasi-probability distribution for the measured observable outcomes, which can be negative. We show that there are situations in which Leggett-Garg inequalities are satisfied even if the macrorealism condition is violated.

• Abstract: Quantum non-demolition measurements define a non-invasive protocol to extract information from a quantum system that we aim to monitor. They exploit an additional quantum system that is sequentially coupled to the system. Eventually, by measuring the additional system, we can extract information about temporal correlations developed by the quantum system dynamics with respect to a given observable. This protocol leads to a quasi-probability distribution for the measured observable outcomes, which can be negative. We prove that the presence of these negative regions is a necessary and sufficient condition for the violation of macrorealism. This is a much stronger condition than the violation of the Leggett-Garg inequalities commonly used for the same task. Indeed, we show that there are situations in which Leggett-Garg inequalities are satisfied even if the macrorealism condition is violated. As a consequence, the quantum non-demolition protocol is a privileged tool to identify with certainty the quantum behavior of a system. As such, it has a vast number of applications to different fields from the certification of quantumness to the study of the quantum-to-classical transition.

  We propose a simple and efficient self-testing protocol that certifies the state and observables based on the optimal quantum violation of the Svetlichny inequality. Our method leverages an elegant sum-of-squares approach to derive the optimal quantum value of the Svetlichny functional, devoid of assuming the dimension of the quantum system.

• Decoding the Projective Transverse Field Ising Model [0.0]
  We study a projective transverse field Ising model with a focus on its capabilities as a quantum error correction code. We demonstrate that there is a finite threshold below which quantum information encoded in an initially entangled state can be retrieved reliably. This implies that there is a finite regime where quantum information is protected by the projective dynamics, but cannot be retrieved by using syndrome measurements.

But such outcome can be totally uncorrelated from the property of the quantum system that fixed observable should be probing.

  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.
