• Abstract: The probability distribution of a measure of non-stabilizerness, also known as magic, is investigated for Haar-random pure quantum states. Focusing on the stabilizer R\'enyi entropies, the associated probability density functions (PDFs) are found to display distinct non-analytic features analogous to Van Hove singularities in condensed matter systems. For a single qubit, the stabilizer purity exhibits a logarithmic divergence at a critical value corresponding to a saddle point on the Bloch sphere. This divergence occurs at the $|H\rangle$-magic states, which hence can be identified as states for which the density of non-stabilizerness in the Hilbert space is infinite. An exact expression for the PDF is derived for the case $\alpha = 2$, with analytical predictions confirmed by numerical simulations. The logarithmic divergence disappears for dimensions $d \ge 3$, in agreement with the behavior of ordinary Van Hove singularities on flat manifolds. In addition, it is shown that, for one qubit, the linear stabilizer entropy is directly related to the partial incompatibility of quantum measurements, one of the defining properties of quantum mechanics, at the basis of Stern-Gerlach experiments.

  A recent Google Quantum AI experiment demonstrated the persistence of such collective excitations even when the integrability is broken. We study the spectrum of the model realized in the experiment using exact diagonalization and physical arguments. We find that isolated bands corresponding to the descendants of the exact bound states of the integrable model are clearly observable in the spectrum for a large range of system sizes.

• Measuring nonstabilizerness via multifractal flatness [0.0]
  Universal quantum computing requires nonstabilizer (magic) quantum states. We prove that a quantum state is a stabilizer if and only if all states belonging to its Clifford orbit have a flat probability distribution. We show that the multifractal flatness provides an experimentally and computationally viable nonstabilizerness certification.

  estimation of information measures of continuous distributions based on samples is a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning. We provide confidence bounds for simple histogram based estimation of differential entropy from a fixed number of samples. Our focus is on differential entropy, but we provide examples that show that similar results hold for mutual information and relative entropy as well.
