An important question of quantum information is to characterize genuinely quantum (beyond-Clifford) resources necessary for universal quantum computing. Here, we use the Pauli spectrum to quantify how magic, beyond Clifford, typical many-qubit states are. We first present a phenomenological picture of the Pauli spectrum based on quantum typicality and then confirm it for Haar random states. We then introduce filtered stabilizer entropy, a magic measure that can resolve the difference between typical and atypical states. We proceed with the numerical study of the Pauli spectrum of states created by random circuits as well as for eigenstates of chaotic Hamiltonians. We find that in both cases the Pauli spectrum approaches the one of Haar random states, up to exponentially suppressed tails. Our results underscore differences between typical and atypical states from the point of view of quantum information.

  1. Magic without a phase: phase-independent stabilizer R\'enyi entropy in gluon scattering

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    A phase-averaged stabilizer Rényi entropy is introduced for tree-level gluon scattering, with color-independent phase-independent magic that is larger in 3→2 than 2→2 and has a soft-limit lower bound in 2→3.

  2. Unitary Designs from Two Chaotic Hamiltonians and a Random Pauli Operation

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Unitary designs emerge from the temporal ensemble of two chaotic Hamiltonian evolutions separated by a random Pauli operation, based on the universal Pauli spectrum.

  3. Connecting Magic Dynamics in Thermofield Double States to Spectral Form Factors

    quant-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0

    For chaotic all-to-all systems, the stabilizer Rényi entropy of thermofield double states is set by the spectral form factor and saturates through a first-order dynamical transition.

  4. Quantum detection of CP violation in the $t\bar{t}$ system: production

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    CP-odd SMEFT top interactions appear as ΔB and antisymmetric C_A in the tt̄ production density matrix; direct markers beat most QI measures for CP sensitivity at LHC and FCC-ee.

  5. Complexity of Quadratic Quantum Chaos

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Hard-core boson two-body models with random interactions exhibit chaotic spectral statistics, operator growth, and eigenstate properties approaching those of random matrices and the SYK model.
