• Abstract: We show that, given an evolving quantum system and the quasiprobability distribution generated by the spatiotemporal generalization of the Born rule in pseudo density-matrices (PDMs), this distribution deviates from the sequential measurements probability distribution, given by the Lüders von-Neumann distribution, if and only if the non-signaling in time (NSIT) is violated; equivalently, if and only if the macroscopic realism (MR) is violated. Furthermore, we propose a definition of temporal entanglement according to the structure of the PDMs that is analogous to the definition of spatial entanglement in density matrices, showing that temporal entanglement is necessary for the violation of temporal Bell inequalities and the violation of MR. We employ our results to study the relationship between the negativity of the PDM, temporal entanglement, violation of temporal Bell inequalities, and MR.
