Noise robustness and threshold of many-body quantum magic

Abstract

Understanding quantum magic (i.e., nonstabilizerness) in many-body quantum systems is challenging but essential to the study of quantum computation and many-body physics. We investigate how noise affects magic properties in entangled many-body quantum states by quantitatively examining the magic decay under noise, with a primary aim being to understand the stability of magic associated with different kinds of entanglement structures. As a standard model, we study hypergraph states, a representative class of many-body magic states, subject to depolarizing noise. First, we show that interactions facilitated by high-degree gates are fragile to noise. In particular, the Cⁿ⁻¹Z state family exhibits a vanishing magic threshold of Θ(1/n). Furthermore, we demonstrate efficiently preparable families of hypergraph states without local magic but with a non-vanishing magic threshold which signifies robust magic that is entirely embedded in global entanglement. We also discuss the qudit case based on the discrete Wigner formalism.
