A violation of the inequality can signal that a system does not conform to our primal intuition about the physical world. Alternatively, a violation can simply indicate that \"clumsy\" experimental technique led to invasive measurements. Here, we consider a recent Leggett-Garg test designed to try to rule out the mundane second possibility. We tailor this Leggett-Garg test to the IBM 5Q Quantum Experience system and find compelling evidence that qubit $Q_2$ of the system cannot be described by noninvasive macrorealism.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-19T22:18:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "leggett-garg test", "superconducting qubit addressing", "clumsiness loophole", "ibm 5q quantum experience system", "leggett-garg inequality holds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
