Non-local magic has recently emerged as a fundamental resource for characterizing genuinely non-local non-stabilizer correlations. However, its direct calculation is an intractable numerical problem, except for small systems, and its understanding remains limited. We derive a representation of non-local magic in terms of the Walsh--Hadamard autocorrelations of the entanglement spectrum. Our representation makes the underlying harmonic structure explicit and enables a systematic analysis of its behaviors for various scenarios. We prove that non-local magic can be upper-bounded by an entanglement entropy and we derive exact analytical results for broad classes of quantum states, characterizing the scaling of non-local magic for volume-law states, as well as ground states of one-dimensional gapped and critical systems. Our results identify the spectral organization of the entanglement spectrum as the key ingredient governing non-local magic and provide a framework for further systematic analytical investigation.
Magic, or nonstabilizerness, is the resource that lifts Clifford circuits to universal quantum computation and has become a standard diagnostic of many-body states. For a state shared between two parties, however, a basic question has remained open: how much of the magic resides in the correlations between the parties...
Nonergodic features of chaotic quantum many-body systems are commonly characterized through local observables, fidelity, and entanglement entropy. Here, using global and nonlocal measures of nonstabilizerness (magic), we study quantum many-body scars near infinite temperature in $(1+1)$-dimensional Abelian $\mathbb{Z}_...

Elastic scattering can generate entanglement and non-local magic between the spins of the two outgoing particles. The amount of entanglement and magic produced is encoded in the S-matrix; a unitary quantum gate that acts on the joint Hilbert space of the two spin-J particles. Previous work derived the entanglement powe...
Physical many-body quantum systems typically interact locally, giving rise to ground states where entanglement grows with the area of the region being probed. Beyond entanglement, non-stabilizerness (or"magic") has been established as another crucial resource linked to quantum complexity and the properties of error-cor...
Entanglement and nonlocal non-stabilizerness are distinct quantum resources encoded in the Schmidt spectrum of a bipartite pure state. For qubit systems, we establish a universal quadratic constraint on their simultaneous allocation, governed by the minimum number of logical qubits required on each side to encode the o...
We study fermionic non-local magic in higher-dimensional free-fermion systems through the lens of the entanglement spectrum. For translationally invariant Gaussian states in strip geometries, dimensional reduction maps the problem to independent lower-dimensional momentum sectors, leading in two dimensions to a multipl...
