abstract
Non-local magic has recently emerged as a fundamental resource for characterizing genuinely non-local non-stabilizer correlations. However, its direct calculation is an intractable numerical problem, except for small systems, and its understanding remains limited. We derive a representation of non-local magic in terms of the Walsh--Hadamard autocorrelations of the entanglement spectrum. Our representation makes the underlying harmonic structure explicit and enables a systematic analysis of its behaviors for various scenarios. We prove that non-local magic can be upper-bounded by an entanglement entropy and we derive exact analytical results for broad classes of quantum states, characterizing the scaling of non-local magic for volume-law states, as well as ground states of one-dimensional gapped and critical systems. Our results identify the spectral organization of the entanglement spectrum as the key ingredient governing non-local magic and provide a framework for further systematic analytical investigation.

Schmidt-Gauge Non-Local Magic: Representation, Optimality, and Mathematical Properties
For every 1xN bipartition, the Schmidt-gauge non-local magic equals the true local-unitary minimum, and the Walsh-Hadamard representation yields bounds, selection rules, and an inverse-participation-ratio interpretation.
