Stabilizer Entanglement Enhances Magic Injection
Abstract
Non-stabilizerness is a key resource for fault-tolerant quantum computation, yet its interplay with entanglement in dynamical settings remains underexplored. We address this by analyzing a well-controlled, analytically tractable setup, where we show that entanglement acts as a conduit that teleports magic across the system, thereby enhancing magic injection. Using exact calculations, we prove that when a Haar-random unitary is applied to a subsystem of an entangled stabilizer state, the total injected magic increases with the entanglement between and its complement. More generally, for any unitary , we show that this enhancement is maximized when is maximally entangled with its complement, in which case the total injected magic is exactly given by the unitary stabilizer R\'enyi entropy we introduce. This quantity provides both a directly computable measure of unitary magic and a lower bound on the minimum number of gates required to synthesize . We further extend our analysis to tripartite stabilizer entanglement, non-stabilizer entanglement, and magic injection via shallow-depth brickwork circuits, finding that the qualitative picture remains unchanged.
