Persistence of quantum violation of macrorealism for large spins even under coarsening of measurement times

Abstract

We investigate quantum violation of macrorealism for multilevel spin systems under the condition of coarsening of measurement times -- i.e., when measurement times have experimental indeterminacy. This is studied together with the effect of coarsening of measurement outcomes for which individual outcomes cannot be unambiguously discriminated. In our treatment, along with different measurement outcomes being clubbed together into two groups in order to model the coarsening of measurement outcomes, importantly, varying degrees of coarsening of measurement time intervals have also been considered. This then reveals that while for a given dimension, the magnitude of quantum violation of macrorealism decreases with the increasing degree of coarsening of measurement times, interestingly, this effect of coarsening of measurement times can be annulled by increasing the dimension of the spin system so that in the limit of large spin, the quantum violation of macrorealism continues to persist. Thus, the result obtained demonstrates that classicality for large spins does not emerge from quantum mechanics in spite of the coarsening of measurement times.
