In U(1)-symmetric random circuits, initial states with lower stabilizer Rényi entropy generate nonstabilizerness faster than those with higher entropy, with the effect also depending on spatial charge structure and extending to SU(2) circuits and Hamiltonian dynamics.

abstract
We present exact, closed-form results for the non-stabilizerness of random pure states subject to a U(1) symmetry constraint. Using stabilizer entropy as our non-stabilizerness monotone, we derive the average and the variance for U(1)-constrained Haar random states. We show that the presence of a conserved charge leads to a substantial suppression of non-stabilizerness (magic) compared to the unconstrained case, and identify a qualitative difference between entanglement and magic response. In the thermodynamic limit, stabilizer entropy exhibits a different leading-order scaling close to a vanishing relative charge density, implying that magic is more robust to charge density fluctuations than entanglement entropy. We test our analytical predictions against midspectrum eigenstates of two chaotic many-body systems with conserved U(1) charge: the complex-fermion Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (cSYK) model and a Heisenberg XXZ chain with next-to-nearest-neighbour couplings and conserved magnetization. We find an excellent agreement for the non-local cSYK model and systematic deviations for the local XXZ chain, highlighting the role of interaction locality.

Haar random qubit states show vanishing fermionic non-Gaussianity for subsystems smaller than half the total size without symmetry, small but finite non-Gaussianity with U(1) symmetry, and extensive non-Gaussianity for larger subsystems.
Closed-form formula computes non-local magic for fermionic Gaussian states from two-point correlations in polynomial time.
Conservation laws in quantum circuits and Hamiltonians replace logarithmic coherence saturation with slow hydrodynamic relaxation globally and produce algebraic peak-time growth locally, unlike ergodic cases.
A review of how quantum information science is expected to provide new tools and insights for nuclear and high-energy physics phenomenology and quantum simulations.
