• Abstract: The problem of emergence of classicality from quantum mechanics has been addressed over time through numerous frameworks, from Bohr's correspondence principle to quantum Darwinism. Traditional approaches associate the emergence of classicality with the decoherence process induced by large reservoirs on the system's state. In this work, we present an effective mechanism by which classicality emerges through the establishment of elements of reality. This involves the process of successive monitoring of noncommuting observables. To assess physical reality, we employ the realism criterion introduced by Bilobran and Angelo [EPL, 112 (2015) 40005], as well as their quantifier for the violations of this criterion. With these tools, we formally demonstrate, for generic systems, that a quasi-classical regime can always be reached with a sufficiently large number of incompatible measurements. Thus, instead of diagnosing the emergence of the classical regime in terms of the resulting algebraic characteristics for the density operator under the action of large reservoirs, our results reveal that classicality can emerge, at the level of physical elements of reality, from the coupling of the system with environments of a few degrees of freedom.

• Operationally classical simulation of quantum states [41.94295877935867]
  A classical state-preparation device cannot generate superpositions and hence its emitted states must commute. We show that no such simulation exists, thereby certifying quantum coherence. Our approach is a possible avenue to understand how and to what extent quantum states defy generic models based on classical devices.

• Consistent Value Assignments Can Explain Classicality [0.0]
  Our first step in addressing the problem is instead to identify the physical origin of non-classicality of quantum physics. To attack this impossibility a concept of evaluation'' is introduced, which allows for a consistent value assignment to non-comeasurable observables.

• Superclassical non-Markovian open quantum dynamics [0.0]
  Superclassical non-Markovian open quantum system dynamics defined by their lack of measurement invasiveness. This diagonal non-invasiveness guarantees that joint probabilities for measurement outcomes fulfill classical Kolmogorov consistency conditions. It is shown that a subclass of depolarizing dynamics, which are based on a (time-irreversible) non-unitary system-environment coupling, satisfy the required properties.

• Canonical typicality under general quantum channels [39.58317527488534]
  In the present work we employ quantum channels to define generalized subsystems. We show that generalized subsystems also display the phenomena of canonical typicality. In particular we demonstrate that the property regulating the emergence of the canonical typicality behavior is the entropy of the channel used to define the generalized subsystem.

  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.

  The exceptional point, known as the non-Hermitian degeneracy, has special topological structure. Here we experimentally demonstrate dynamically encircling the exceptional point with a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. Our work reveals the topological structure of the exceptional point and paves the way to comprehensively explore the exotic properties of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians in the quantum regime.
