• Abstract: The Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) is a powerful tool for distinguishing between quantum and classical properties in studies of macroscopic systems. Applying the LGI to non-Hermitian systems with dissipation presents a fascinating opportunity, as competing mechanisms can either strengthen or weaken LGI violations. On one hand, dissipation-induced nonlinear interactions amplify LGI violations compared to Hermitian systems; on the other hand, dissipation leads to decoherence, which could weaken the LGI violation. In this paper, we investigate a non-Hermitian system of ultracold Fermi gas with dissipation. Our experiments reveal that as dissipation increases, the upper bound of the third-order LGI parameter $K_3$ initially rises, reaching its maximum at the exceptional point (EP), where $K_3 = C_{21} + C_{32} - C_{31}$, encompassing three two-time correlation functions. Beyond a certain dissipation threshold, the LGI violation weakens, approaching the classical limit, indicating a quantum-to-classical transition (QCT). Furthermore, we observe that the LGI violation decreases with increasing evolution time, reinforcing the QCT in the time domain. This study provides a crucial stepping stone for using the LGI to explore the QCT in many-body open quantum systems.

  Leggett Garg inequalities (LGIs) test the incompatibility between the notion of macrorealism and quantum mechanics. We show that for the case of standard LGI, the quantum violation of L"uders bound can be obtained when both NSIT and AOT conditions are violated. For the case of a variant of LGI, for suitable choices of relevant parameters, the quantum violation can even be obtained when only the AOT is violated.

  We present a simple method to calculate the temporal correlation functions appearing in the LG inequalities for any bound system. We find substantial regions of parameter space in which the LG inequalities at two, three and four times can each be independently violated or satisfied. We also show that two-time LG violations in a gaussian state are readily found if the dichotomic variable at one of the times is taken to be the parity operator.
