Nonstabilizerness, also known as magic, quantifies the number of non-Clifford operations needed in order to prepare a quantum state. As typical measures either involve minimization procedures or a computational cost exponential in the…

We demonstrate the existence, as well as determine the conditions, of a Mpemba effect - a counterintuitive phenomenon where a hotter system equilibrates faster than a cooler system when quenched to a cold temperature - in anisotropically…

Anomalous thermal relaxation is ubiquitous in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. An emblematic example of this is the Mpemba effect, where an initially ``hot'' system cools faster than an initially ``cooler'' one. This effect has…
