We show that no stabilizer codes over any local dimension can support a non-trivial area operator for any bipartition of the physical degrees of freedom even if certain code subalgebras contain non-trivial centers. This conclusion also extends to more general quantum codes whose logical operators satisfy certain factorization properties, including any complementary code that encodes qubits and supports transversal logical gates that form a nice unitary basis. These results support the observation that some desirable conditions for fault tolerance are in tension with emergent gravity and suggest that non-local "magic" would play an important role in reproducing features of gravitational back-reaction and the quantum extremal surface formula. We comment on conditions needed to circumvent the no-go result and examine some simple instances of non-stabilizer codes that do have non-trivial area operators.

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

Local Thermalization of SU(2) Lattice Gauge Fields on Quantum Computers
Quantum hardware simulation of SU(2) lattice gauge thermalization matches classical extrapolations up to 101 plaquettes after error mitigation, establishing feasibility for chaotic quantum field systems.

Type III von Neumann Algebras are Magical
If lattice states in the thermodynamic limit have bounded magic, the local von Neumann algebra cannot be Type III, so Type III algebras require infinite magic.

Stabilizer complexity and the Python's lunch
For fixed-energy PET states, the relative Wigner negativity of the boundary subregion is exp[(A_out - A_min)/(8G_N)], giving an exponential enhancement of stabilizer complexity when a python's lunch is present.

Nonlocal Nonstabilizerness from Holographic Schwinger Pair Production
In holographic Schwinger pair production, the excess capacity of entanglement is √λ(d−2)/(d−1)³ — positive for d>2, zero for d=2 — so the produced pair carries nonlocal magic for d>2.

On the stabilizer complexity of Hawking radiation
In the PSSY model, the Wigner negativity (stabilizer magic) of Hawking radiation is O(1) before the Page time and grows as sqrt(2/pi) exp((S_max - S_2)/2) afterward; a similar formula is proposed for holographic state...

Resource complexity of Symmetry Protected Topological phases
Quantum magic in 1D symmetry-protected topological phases is identical at dual trivial/topological points, and boundary-induced magic differences are non-topological.

Certified boundary-magic witness for state-dependent proto-area in a holographic code
Only matter-controlled bond motion yields state-dependent proto-area in a four-qubit holographic code, and a projected stabilizer-Rényi quadratic witness certifies it while total magic does not.
