我们基于序列测量中Kolmogorov一致性条件的违反，提出了一种量子比特系统非经典性的可操作度量。与Milz等人（2020年）通过NCGD映射表征经典性、Sakuldee等人（2022a、2022b）研究测量扰动下量子关联的工作不同，我们的判据明确通过POVM（正算子值测量）不锐利度参数$a_z$量化非经典性。对于初始对角态上的投影测量，该判据完全消失，表明此类测量无法揭示非经典性。然而，通过推广至POVM，我们发现非投影测量甚至可对对角初始态揭示非经典性。我们推导了包含相干性的一般初始态下该判据的显式表达式，证明其最大值为$1/4$，这是在无偏POVM、最大退相和相等初始布居下获得的新结果。我们的结果将Kolmogorov一致性、Leggett-Garg不等式与POVM相联系，提供了一种可实验实现的工具，用于检测量子比特系统中的非经典性，在量子技术认证领域具有潜在应用。
英文摘要
We introduce an operational measure of nonclassicality for qubit systems based on the violation of Kolmogorov consistency conditions in sequential measurements. In contrast to previous work by Milz et al.~\cite{Milz-2020}, who characterized classicality via NCGD maps, and Sakuldee et al.~\cite{Sakuldee-2022a, Sakuldee-2022b}, who studied quantum correlations under measurement disturbance, our witness explicitly quantifies nonclassicality in terms of the POVM unsharpness parameter $a_z$. For projective measurements on an initially diagonal state, the witness vanishes identically, showing that such measurements cannot reveal nonclassicality. However, by generalizing to positive operator-valued measures (POVMs), we find that non-projective measurements can reveal nonclassicality even for diagonal initial states. We derive explicit expressions for the witness for general initial states, including coherences, and show that its maximum value is $1/4$, which is a new result achieved for unbiased POVMs, maximal dephasing, and equal initial populations. Our results connect Kolmogorov consistency, Leggett-Garg inequalities, and POVMs, providing an experimentally accessible tool for detecting nonclassicality in qubit systems with potential applications in quantum technology certification.
