The Leggett-Garg (LG) test is a conceptually elegant approach for probing the compatibility between the notion of macrorealism and quantum theory. However, a conclusive LG test hinges on how one fixes the operational invasiveness loophole, i.e., how the statistical form of non-invasive measurability assumption is guaranteed in an LG test. Despite many attempts to close this loophole, no consensus has been achieved yet. In this work, we propose a simple and elegant scheme based on indefinite causal order in quantum switch experiment, which enables us to close this loophole, and eventually, the LG test becomes a conclusive test of macrorealism.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-11-08T06:28:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "indefinite causal order", "leggett-garg test", "macrorealism", "measurements", "conclusive lg test hinges" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
