A central problem in fundamental physics is to witness the non-classicality of systems whose dynamics is not completely specified. For example, this arises in testing predictions that a macroscopic system, such as a living system, obeys quantum theory. Notoriously, also, it has been claimed that witnessing non-classicality in the gravitational field is practically impossible. Here, we propose a thought experiment that witnesses the non-classicality of a physical system by probing it with a qubit, without having to assume any specific dynamics on the physical system. Remarkably, this experiment does not require any quantum control of the system, involving only measuring a single classical observable on it. That non-classicality of a system can be established indirectly, by coupling it to a qubit, opens up exciting possibilities, for example, that quantum gravitational effects might be witnessed in the lab.
