Bridging Entanglement and Magic Resources within Operator Space
Author(s): Neil Dowling, Kavan Modi, and Gregory A. L. White
Local-operator entanglement (LOE) dictates the complexity of simulating Heisenberg evolution using tensor network methods, and it bears witness to many-body chaos for local dynamics. We show that LOE is also sensitive to how non-Clifford a unitary is—its magic resources. In particular, we prove that… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 160201] Published Tue Oct 14, 2025
