Description

We predict violations of Bell, Leggett-Garg, and dimension-witness inequalities for macroscopic qubits based on macroscopically-distinct coherent states. This challenges our understanding of macroscopic realism versus quantum mechanics and motivates the examination of realism in quantum mechanics.
