Stabilizer Rényi entropy for translation-invariant matrix product states
Abstract
Magic, capturing the deviation of a quantum state from the stabilizer formalism, is a key resource underpinning the quantum advantage. The recently introduced stabilizer Rényi entropy (SRE) offers a tractable measure of magic, avoiding the complexity of conventional methods. We study SRE in translation-invariant matrix product states (MPS), deriving exact expressions for representative states and introducing a numerically stable algorithm, named bond-DMRG, to compute the SRE density in infinite systems. Applying this method, we obtain high-precision SRE densities for the ground state of the one-dimensional Ising model. We also analyze non-local SRE density, showing it is bounded by a universal function of entanglement entropy, and further prove that two-site mutual SRE vanishes asymptotically in injective MPS. Our work not only introduces a powerful method for extracting the SRE density in quantum many-body systems, but also numerically reveals a fundamental connection between magic and entanglement, thereby paving the way for deeper theoretical investigations into their interplay.
