A scheme for measuring the purity of a quantum system with a finite number of levels is presented. The method makes use of two square root of SWAP gates and only hinges on measurements performed on a reference system, prepared in a certain pure state and coupled with the target system. Neither tomographic methods, with the complete reconstruction of the state, nor interferometric setups is needed.

    Global and marginal purities alone are claimed to place any state in a two-dimensional kinematic diagram whose boundary crossings certify NPT entanglement, steering, Bell nonlocality, and bounds on magic.
