The violation of Bell inequalities with two entangled and spatially separated quantum two-level systems (TLSs) is often considered as the most prominent demonstration that nature does not obey local realism. Under different but related assumptions of macrorealism-which macroscopic systems plausibly fulfil-Leggett and Garg derived a similar inequality for a single degree of freedom undergoing coherent oscillations and being measured at successive times. Here, we test such a 'Bell's inequality in time', which should be violated by a quantum TLS. Our TLS is a superconducting quantum circuit in which Rabi oscillations are continuously driven while it is continuously and weakly measured. The time correlations present at the detector output agree with quantum-mechanical predictions and violate the Leggett-Garg inequality by five standard deviations.
