Reply to the Comment by A.J. Leggett and Anupam Garg

Abstract

In their comment[1] on our Letter [arXiv:0907.0767], Leggett and Garg claim that they have introduced in their original paper (LG1) a dependence on measurement times. They also claim that Eqs.(HMDR1) and (LG2a) can therefore not be linked in such a way that the arguments of [arXiv:0907.0767] can be transcribed. However, (LG1) distinguishes only three time differences, and all experimental results corresponding to the same time differences are identically labeled and therefore treated as mathematically identical. We therefore cannot agree with the argumentation of Leggett and Garg: except for a change of nomenclature Eqs.(HMDR1) and (LG2a) are the same. A more extensive discussion of this point can be found in [arXiv:0901.2546].
