abstract

Quantum state preparation can be strikingly counterintuitive: the fastest route to a target state need not start from the apparently closest initial condition. We uncover such a quantum Mpemba effect in the dynamical generation of quantum magic (nonstabilizerness), quantified by the stabilizer R\'enyi entropy, in $\mathrm{U(1)}$-symmetric random circuits initialized from tilted product states. States with lower initial magic can generate magic faster than states with higher initial magic. The acceleration is not determined solely by the conserved-charge distribution. Two initial-state families with identical initial magic and identical charge distribution exhibit qualitatively different magic-growth dynamics, depending also on the spatial structure of the initial state within each charge sector. Analogous magic Mpemba effects in $\mathrm{SU(2)}$-symmetric circuits and under nonintegrable Hamiltonian dynamics further show that the phenomenon is tied neither to Abelian symmetry nor to random-circuit dynamics, establishing quantum magic as a distinct arena for Mpemba physics.

Unitary Designs from Doped Matchgate Circuits

quant-ph · 2026-06-22 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Doped matchgate circuits achieve approximate parity-preserving 2-designs in polylogarithmic depth using a sparse number of non-Gaussian gates, with the design formation mapped exactly to a birth-death Markov chain.

Higher-order Symmetric Quantum Mpemba Effect in Fragmented Systems

quant-ph · 2026-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

In charge- and dipole-conserving fragmented systems, charge and dipole asymmetries exhibit Mpemba-like crossings on parametrically distinct timescales, driven by frozen sectors retaining asymmetry and active sectors relaxing.
