2 Outlook Quantum entanglement vs. local realism Bell s inequality Loopholes Entanglement swapping & teleportation Macroscopic quantum superpositions vs. macrorealism Leggett-Garg inequality Quantum-to-classical transition Witnessing non-classical evolutions in complex systems Conclusion and outlook
3 Local realism Classical world view: Realism: properties of physical objects exist independent of whether or not they are observed by anyone Locality: no physical influence can propagate faster than the speed of light External world Passive observers
4 Bell s inequality Realism Locality Alice Bob Local realism: A = A(a,λ,b,B) outcomes A = ±1 B = ±1 B = B(b,λ,a,A) settings a 1,a 2 b 1,b 2 A 1 (B 1 +B 2 ) + A 2 (B 1 B 2 ) = ±2 λ variables S := A 1 B 1 + A 1 B 2 + A 2 B 1 A 2 B 2 2 Bell s inequality* Quantum mechanics: S QM = using entangled quantum states, e.g. Φ AB = ( HV AB + VH AB ) / 2 First experimental violation: 1972 Since then: tests with photons, atoms, superconducting qubits, *J. S. Bell, Phys. 1, 195 (1964); J. F. Clauser et al., PRL 23, 880 (1969)

7 Loopholes Loopholes: maintain local realism despite S exp > 2 Why important? - Quantum foundations - Security of entanglement-based quantum cryptography Three main loopholes: Locality loophole hidden communication between the parties closing: hard for atoms, achieved for photons (1982 1, ) Freedom of choice settings are correlated with hidden variables closing: hard for atoms, achieved for photons ( ) Fair sampling measured ensemble is not representative closing: achieved for atoms ( ) and photons ( ) E λ 1 A.

17 Macroscopic superpositions With photons, electrons, neutrons, molecules etc. With cats? cat left + cat right? 6910 AMU* When and how do physical systems stop to behave quantum mechanically and begin to behave classically ( measurement problem )? * S. Gerlich et al., Nature Comm. 2, 263 (2011)
18 Local realism vs. macrorealism Are non-local correlations possible? Quantum mechanics says yes (use entanglement) Local realism (e.g. classical physics) says no (only classical correlations) Bell test has given experimental answer in favor of quantum mechanics Practical relevance qu. computation, qu. cryptography Are macroscopic superpositions possible? Quantum mechanics says yes (if you manage to defy decoherence) Macrorealism (e.g. classical physics, objective collapse models) says no (only classical temporal correlations) Leggett-Garg test can/will give experimental answer, community still split Practical relevance witnessing temporal qu. coherence
19 Macrorealism Macrorealism per se: given a set of macroscopically distinct states, a macroscopic object is at any given time in a definite one of these states Non-invasive measurability: measurements reveal the state without any effect on the state itself or on the subsequent dynamics Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) Bell: Quantum mechanics: K := Q 1 Q 2 + Q 2 Q 3 + Q 3 Q 4 Q 1 Q 4 2 = non-invasiveness S := A 1 B 1 + A 1 B 2 + A 2 B 1 A 2 B 2 2 = locality t 0 Q Q Q Q ±1 t 1 t 2 t 3 t 4 time K QM = A. J. Leggett and A. Garg, PRL 54, 857 (1985)

21 Sharp vs. coarse-grained measurements Spin j Sharp measurement of spin z-component Coarse-grained measurement or decoherence Q = 1 j +j j +j Q = +1 macroscopically distinct states classical limit Violation of Leggett-Garg inequality for arbitrarily large spins j Classical physics of a rotating classical spin vector J.

26 Alternative to Leggett-Garg inequality No-signaling in time (NSIT): A measurement does not change the outcome statistics of a later measurement. * t 0 A B t A t B MR NSIT Violation of NSIT witnesses non-classical time evolution Advantages of NSIT compared to LGI: - Only two measurement times (simpler witness) - Violated for broader parameter regime (better witness) LGI and NSIT are tools for witnessing temporal quantum coherence in complex systems (not necessarily having macroscopic superpositions) Does quantum coherence give biological systems an evolutionary advantage? * J. K. and Č. Brukner, PRA 87, (2013)
27 Candidates for quantum biology Photosynthesis: Light harvesting in the FMO complex Avian compass electronic excitation (by sunlight) in antenna is transferred to reaction center evidence for efficiency increase due to quantum coherent transport radical pair mechanism proposed reaction products depend on earth magnetic field M. Sarovar et al., Nature Phys. 6, 462 (2010) N. Lambert et al., Nature Phys. 9, 10 (2013)
28 Conclusion and outlook Local realism - world view radically different from quantum mechanics - violated experimentally (Bell tests) by qu. entanglement - all loopholes are closed, but not yet simultaneously - loopholes relevant for qu. cryptography - long distance distribution of entanglement Macrorealism - related to the measurement problem (Schrödinger s cat) - quantum mechanics predicts violation - quantum-to-classical transition - Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) not yet violated for macroscopic objects; several candidates - no-signaling in time (NSIT) as an alternative - LGI and NSIT: tools for witnessing quantum time evolution in mesoscopic systems including biological organisms

32 Interpretations Copenhagen interpretation Bohmian mechanics Many-worlds interpretation quantum state (wave function) only describes probabilities objects do not possess all properties prior to and independent of measurements (violating realism) individual events are irreducibly random quantum state is a real physical object and leads to an additional force particles move deterministically on trajectories position is a hidden variable & there is a non-local influence (violating locality) individual events are only subjectively random all possibilities are realized parallel worlds

34 Locality vs. non-invasiveness How to enforce locality? Space-like separation Special relativity guarantees impossibility of physical influence How to enforce non-invasiveness? Ideal negative measurements Taking only those results where no interaction with the object took place 1 +1?? 1 +1
35 Stages towards violation of MR Quantum interference between macroscopically distinct states (QIMDS) does not necessarily establish the truth of quantum mechanics (QM) Leggett s three stages of experiments:* Stage 1. One conducts circumstantial tests to check whether the relevant macroscopic variable appears to be obeying the prescriptions of QM. Stage 2. One looks for direct evidence for QIMDS, in contexts where it does not (necessarily) exclude macrorealism. Stage 3. One conducts an experiment which is explicitly designed so that if the results specified by QM are observed, macrorealism is thereby excluded. However: step from stage 2 to 3 is straightforward via violation of NSIT * A. J. Leggett, J. Phys.: Cond. Mat. 14, R415 (2002)
