We study a non-stabilizerness resource theory for operators, which is dual to that describing states. We identify that the stabilizer R\'enyi entropy analog in operator space is a good magic monotone satisfying the usual conditions while inheriting efficient computability properties and providing a tight lower bound to the minimum number of non-Clifford gates in a circuit. Operationally, this measure quantifies how well an operator can be approximated by one with only a few Pauli strings -- analogous to how entanglement entropy relates to tensor-network truncation. A notable advantage of operator stabilizer entropies is their inherent locality, as captured by a Lieb-Robinson bound. This feature makes them particularly suited for studying local dynamical magic resource generation in many-body systems. We compute this quantity analytically in two distinct regimes. First, we show that under random evolution, operator magic typically reaches near-maximal value for all R\'enyi indices, and we evaluate the Page correction. Second, harnessing both dual unitarity and ZX graphical calculus, we solve the operator stabilizer entropy for interacting integrable XXZ circuit, finding that it quickly saturates to a constant value. Overall, this measure sheds light on the structural properties of many-body non-stabilizerness generation and can inspire Clifford-assisted tensor network methods.

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

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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. Taming Trotter Errors with Quantum Resources

    quant-ph 2026-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Entanglement entropy bounds the variance of Trotter error downward, and magic drives the error kurtosis downward (Kur = α + βM, β<0 for large systems).

  3. Bra-ket entanglement, an indicator bridging entanglement, magic, and coherence

    quant-ph 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Bra-ket entanglement indicates a shift from coherence-dominated to magic-dominated entanglement generation as its value increases.

  4. Long-range nonstabilizerness of topologically encoded states from mutual information

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Mutual information between non-contractible regions on the torus fully classifies long-range nonstabilizerness for toric-code states but leaves a finite subset undetected in the doubled-Fibonacci string-net model.

  5. Taming Trotter Errors with Quantum Resources

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Higher entanglement entropy reduces variance of Trotter errors and higher magic reduces kurtosis, making error distributions more robust in quantum simulation.

  6. Setting angles in quantum approximate optimization at utility-scale

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper benchmarks approximation techniques and transfer learning for setting QAOA angles at utility scale and extracts operational guidance from hardware-validated results.

  7. Exactly solvable many-body dynamics from space-time duality

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Review summarizing how dual-unitary circuits provide exact solvability for quantum many-body dynamics through space-time duality.
