The “Workshop on Many-Body Quantum Magic” brought leading researchers in various fields of quantum information, quantum computing, quantum simulation and many-body physics to delve into the complex and fascinating resource of nonstabilizerness, or “magic,” a vital and expensive resource for quantum computation that enables quantum computers to surpass classical systems.
Recent progress in measuring and analyzing magic now allows for discussing the generation, manipulation, and quantification of magic in extensive quantum systems, directly informing strategies to reduce runtime overhead in quantum computing and quantum simulation. In addition, understanding magic in quantum many-body systems, its interplay with entanglement and relations with physical phenomena, provide new fundamental insights on the structure and dynamics of matter, and can guide the development of new methods and algorithms that are computationally more efficient.
Subjects to be explored include: 1) the magic of quantum many-body systems and interplay with entanglement; 2) Resource theory of magic; 3) Resource cost of (quantum) algorithms; 4) Experimental study of magic; 5) (Quantum) algorithms for generating, learning, and certifying magic; 6) Magic of (fault-tolerant) quantum computers and simulators.
