• Abstract: Quantum state preparation can be strikingly counterintuitive: the fastest route to a target state need not start from the apparently closest initial condition. We uncover such a quantum Mpemba effect in the dynamical generation of quantum magic (nonstabilizerness), quantified by the stabilizer Rényi entropy, in $\mathrm{U(1)}$-symmetric random circuits initialized from tilted product states. States with lower initial magic can generate magic faster than states with higher initial magic. The acceleration is not determined solely by the conserved-charge distribution. Two initial-state families with identical initial magic and identical charge distribution exhibit qualitatively different magic-growth dynamics, depending also on the spatial structure of the initial state within each charge sector. Analogous magic Mpemba effects in $\mathrm{SU(2)}$-symmetric circuits and under nonintegrable Hamiltonian dynamics further show that the phenomenon is tied neither to Abelian symmetry nor to random-circuit dynamics, establishing quantum magic as a distinct arena for Mpemba physics.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.
