This paper proposes a theoretical generalization of Leggett-Garg and Bell-CHSH inequalities by introducing an extended probability framework within the consistent history approach to quantum mechanics. By redefining the underlying layer of reality as non-settleable histories, the study extends inequality bounds to remain satisfied without violation across arbitrary measurement settings. This work advances fundamental understanding of how quantum systems can exhibit classical properties, directly addressing core questions in quantum foundations and theory.
No violation on a generalisation of Leggett-Garg inequality and Bell-CHSH inequality with extended probability
arXiv:2609.24169v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A generalisation of the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) and the Bell-CHSH inequality is proposed in this work, by replacing a classical probability notion with an extended probability notion. The extended probability serves as an underlying layer of reality to the classical probability. Within the consistent history framework, the underlying layer is so-called a non-settleable history. Hence, the bounds of the LGIs and Bell-CHSH inequalities are extended. The resulting generalised inequalities are satisfied without violation for arbitrary measurement settings. Furthermore, generalised Macro- realism and generalised Local realism are introduced and analysed within the extended probability framework without relying on an explicit measurement. This opens up further possibilities on one of the great pursuits in physics, understanding on how a quantum system can possess classical properties.
