Abstract
Identifying nonclassicality unambiguously and inexpensively is a long-standing open challenge in physics. The no-signaling-in-time protocol was developed as an experimental test for macroscopic realism, and serves as a witness of quantum coherence in isolated quantum systems by comparing the quantum state to its completely dephased counterpart. We show that it provides a lower bound on a certain resource-theoretic coherence monotone. We go on to generalize the protocol to the case where the system of interest is coupled to an environment. Depending on the manner of the generalization, the resulting witness either reports on system coherence alone, or on a disjunction of system coherence with either (i) the existence of nonclassical system-environment correlations or (ii) non-negligible dynamics in the environment. These are distinct failure modes of the Born approximation in nonisolated systems.
