Learning the stabilizer group of a Matrix Product State
Abstract
We present a novel classical algorithm designed to learn the stabilizer group -- namely the group of Pauli strings for which a state is a eigenvector -- of a given Matrix Product State (MPS). The algorithm is based on a clever and theoretically grounded biased sampling in the Pauli (or Bell) basis. Its output is a set of independent stabilizer generators whose total number is directly associated with the stabilizer nullity, notably a well-established nonstabilizer monotone. We benchmark our method on -doped states randomly scrambled via Clifford unitary dynamics, demonstrating very accurate estimates up to highly-entangled MPS with bond dimension . Our method, thanks to a very favourable scaling , represents the first effective approach to obtain a genuine magic monotone for MPS, enabling systematic investigations of quantum many-body physics out-of-equilibrium.
