We introduce the Iterative Clifford Circuit Renormalization (ICCR), a novel technique designed to efficiently handle the dynamics of non-stabilizerness (a.k.a. quantum magic) in generic quantum circuits. ICCR iteratively adjusts the…

The property of non-stabiliserness, or ``magic'', is of interest in quantum computing due to its role in developing fault-tolerant quantum algorithms with genuine computational advantage over classical counterparts. There has been much…

Magic states play an important role in fault-tolerant quantum computation, and so the quantification of magic for quantum states is of great significance. In this work, we propose two new magic quantifiers by introducing two versions of…

We consider the costs and benefits of embedding the states of one quantum system within those of another. Such embeddings are ubiquitous, e.g., in error correcting codes and in symmetry-constrained systems. In particular we investigate the…

We show that the usefulness of the thermal state of a specific spin-lattice model for measurement-based quantum computing exhibits a transition between two distinct "phases" - one in which every state is a universal resource for quantum…
