Real-Space Renormalization of Stabilizer Rényi Entropies in Spin Chains
Abstract
Stabilizer states constitute an important class of quantum states that can be generated from computational-basis states using Pauli operators and Clifford gates. Although they may exhibit substantial multipartite entanglement, quantum circuits restricted to stabilizer operations can be efficiently simulated classically and therefore cannot, by themselves, provide a quantum computational advantage. Such an advantage requires non-stabilizer resources, commonly referred to as quantum magic. In this paper, we investigate the non-stabilizerness of quantum states arising in a class of spin Hamiltonians by computing their stabilizer Rényi entropies. Using real-space renormalization-group techniques, we obtain a closed-form expression valid in the low-energy, large-distance regime. We analyze how quantum magic evolves under coarse-graining and explore its behavior across different parameter regimes and quantum phases.
