Temporal quantum correlations and Leggett-Garg inequalities in multi-level systems

Abstract

We show that the quantum bound for temporal correlations in a Leggett-Garg test, analogous to the Tsirelson bound for spatial correlations in a Bell test, strongly depends on the number of levels $N$ that can be accessed by the measurement apparatus via projective measurements. We provide exact bounds for small $N$, that exceed the known bound for the Leggett-Garg inequality, and show that in the limit $N\to \infty$ the Leggett-Garg inequality can be violated up to its algebraic maximum.
