• Abstract: Notions of nonstabilizerness, or "magic", quantify how non-classical quantum states are in a precise sense: states exhibiting low nonstabilizerness preclude quantum advantage. We introduce 'pseudomagic' ensembles of quantum states that, despite low nonstabilizerness, are computationally indistinguishable from those with high nonstabilizerness. Previously, such computational indistinguishability has been studied with respect to entanglement, introducing the concept of pseudoentanglement. However, we demonstrate that pseudomagic neither follows from pseudoentanglement nor implies it. In terms of applications, the study of pseudomagic offers fresh insights into the theory of quantum scrambling: it uncovers states that, even though they originate from non-scrambling unitaries, remain indistinguishable from scrambled states to any physical observer. Additional applications include new lower bounds on state synthesis problems, property testing protocols, and implications for quantum cryptography. Our work is driven by the observation that only quantities measurable by a computationally bounded observer - intrinsically limited by finite-time computational constraints - hold physical significance. Ultimately, our findings suggest that nonstabilizerness is a 'hide-able' characteristic of quantum states: some states are much more magical than is apparent to a computationally bounded observer.

  The quantum SWITCH allows quantum states to pass through operations in a superposition of different orders, outperforming traditional circuits in numerous tasks. We find that the completely stabilizer-preserving operations, which cannot generate magic states under standard conditions, can be transformed to do so when processed by the quantum SWITCH. These findings reveal the unique properties of the quantum SWITCH and open avenues in research on nonstabilizer resources of general quantum architecture.

  We formulate a passive quantum detector based on a quantum hypothesis testing framework under the setting of finite sample size. Under the assumption that the attacker adopts separable optimal strategies, we derive that the worst-case average error bound converges to zero exponentially. We adopt our formulations upon a case study of detection with quantum radars.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
