Quantum magic, or non-stabilizerness, is an important quantum resource that characterizes computational power beyond classically simulable Clifford operations and is therefore essential for achieving quantum advantage. While previous…
Quantum state discrimination plays a central role in defining the possible and impossible operations through a restricted class of quantum operations. A seminal result by Bennett et al. [Phys. Rev. A 59, 1070 (1999)] demonstrates the…
Distinct Clifford orbits of magic states can exhibit different stabilizer ranks at small tensor powers. We establish this for qutrits, where the single-qutrit Clifford group has four inequivalent orbits of magic states: Strange, Norrell,…
