• Abstract: We derive strict quantitative conditions under which a collective quantum system of N~370 spins exhibits classically forbidden temporal correlations in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model near its Z_2-breaking quantum critical point supports a mesoscopic superposition a|P> + b|R> of two macroscopic ordered phases (|P>: m_z ~ +m_*; |R>: m_z ~ -m_*) at the Goldilocks crossover N ~ N_c, where the tunnel splitting equals k_B T and macroscopic susceptibility chi ~ N coexists with finite quantum coherence. We establish two quantum-discriminating predictions. P4 (Landau-Zener crossover, proposed discriminator): quantum tunnelling drives P_error -> 0 exponentially with quench time, while the classically non-ergodic system remains kinetically frozen at P_error -> 1 - a parametrically large, computable separation that rests on a specific kinetic foil. P5 (Leggett--Garg inequality violation, strictly model-independent): K_3 > 1 is forbidden by macrorealism for all classical models satisfying non-invasive measurability. A five-level Lindblad simulation yields K_3 ~ 1.32 and dephasing threshold gamma_phi < 0.289 s^{-1} at the BEC target (gamma_phi = 0.05 s^{-1}, N = 370, Gamma/J = 0.95) - a margin of 8.8x above the optimal measurement interval, well within current experimental reach. The threshold has a precise physical origin in the emergent collective Z_2 symmetry: exact parity eliminates the dominant dephasing cross-term and renders the LGI correlator immune to T_1 population mixing without requiring ground-state preparation (2.35x improvement over the naive mean-field estimate); constructive dynamical phase alignment of higher odd-parity states at the benchmark parameters contributes a further 2.47x. All results are reproducible from the provided self-tested Python code.

• Observing super-quantum correlations across the exceptional point in a single, two-level trapped ion [48.7576911714538]
  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.

• Spatial non-locality in confined quantum systems: a liaison with quantum correlations [0.0]
  We explore the ground state of 1D and 2D artificial atoms with up to six bosons in harmonic trap. It is shown that the optimized value of the key variational parameter in TDQMC named nonlocal correlation length is close to the standard deviation of the Monte Carlo sample for one boson. Also it is almost independent on the number of bosons for the 2D system thus confirming that the spatial quantum non-locality experienced by each particle is close to the spatial uncertainty exhibited by the rest of the particles.
