• Title: Harvesting magic from the vacuum
• Authors: Ron Nyström, Nicola Pranzini, Esko Keski-Vakkuri,
• Abstract summary: This letter shows that magic can be harvested by a three-level Unruh-DeWitt detector (a qutrit) interacting with a quantum field in an initial vacuum state. While the idea of extracting resources from Quantum Field Theories (QFT) was born from the harvesting of entanglement, our result extends the protocol to evolve a qutrit from a non-magical state to a magical one.

• Abstract: Magic is the quantum resource allowing a quantum computer to perform operations that cannot be simulated efficiently by classical computation. As such, generating magic in a quantum system is crucial for achieving quantum advantage. This letter shows that magic can be harvested by a three-level Unruh-DeWitt detector (a qutrit) interacting with a quantum field in an initial vacuum state. While the idea of extracting resources from Quantum Field Theories (QFT) was born from the harvesting of entanglement, our result extends the protocol to evolve a qutrit from a non-magical state to a magical one, making it possible to generate magic from QFT.

  Measuring the amount of magic used by a device allows us to quantify its potential computational power. We introduce Pauli instability as a measure of magic and experimentally measure it on the IBM Eagle quantum processor. Our results suggest that one may only measure magic when a quantum computer does not provide a speed-up.
