ICCR News New Method Reveals ‘Quantum Magic’ in Massive Quantum Systems: Simulation Leap Scientists' revolutionary computer technology, Iterative Clifford Circuit Renormalisation (ICCR), could revolutionise quantum system understanding and modelling. This novel approach aims to overcome the exponential computing cost of conventionally recreating many-body quantum states, especially ones with “non-stabilizerness,” or quantum magic. Classical simulation of quantum many-body systems has long proven difficult in statistical and condensed matter physics. Because simulating a many-body quantum state with the number of degrees of freedom requires exponential computing, numerical investigations are limited to the simplest systems. Gaussian, stabiliser, and poorly entangled quantum states can be simulated, but many “non-trivial” states are quite challenging.

Understanding Quantum Magic

Understanding Quantum Magic This complexity comes from "non-stabilizerness," or quantum magic, which evaluates how much a quantum state differs from stabiliser states. This measure affects numerical simulation computational efficiency. Many metrics of magic have been established to examine many-body difficulties and quantum circuits, but their evaluation is too expensive. This restriction has made it harder to study regimes like extremely large system sizes, higher complexity, or highly entangled states that standard tensor network approaches cannot reach.

ICCR Changes Simulation Paradigm

A Simulation Perspective Change The novel ICCR algorithm by Alessio Paviglianiti and colleagues circumvents these limits by drastically modifying quantum simulation. ICCR iteratively adjusts the quantum circuit structure and renormalises the initial state instead of explicitly modelling the quantum state's time development, which is computationally prohibitive. To quickly evaluate an appropriate beginning state, this smart approach integrates the complex dynamics of non-stabilizerness into its flow.

ICCR's Iterative Renormalisation

ICCR Iterative Renormalisation The ICCR technique can represent states that evolve through Clifford circuits, a type of quantum gates that maintain stabiliser states, and possibly measurements even when “doped” with non-Clifford gates like T gates.

The following ICCR steps are crucial:

T-gate Conversion: A “T gadget” converts quantum magic non-Clifford T gates into an equivalent circuit with an ancilla qubit and a projective measurement. Magical elements are reduced to projective measurements. Measurement Removal: ICCR relies on repeatedly removing one projective measurement from the quantum circuit. Pauli String Transformation: Each measurement first acts locally and “swapped” the Clifford unitary gate. It becomes a projective measurement of a new Pauli string acting directly on the beginning state, which may contain several qubits. To simplify, local Clifford rotations modify the basis so that the new Pauli string works as a product of Z Pauli matrices on a subset of qubits. State Renormalisation: The “magic” happens. Next, a suitable set of Clifford unitary gates on a renormalised initial state replaces the projective measurement. This approach fixes one qubit to a simple stabiliser state, reducing one degree of freedom from non-stabilizerness. Tractability approximation: If rigorously renormalised, this new beginning state may grow more complicated. To approximate this renormalised beginning state and make the task reasonable for large systems, the researchers confine it to a variational class of states like Matrix Product States (MPS). Increase the “bond dimension” (χ) of the MPS to improve the approximation.

Unmatched scale and performance

Unmatched Performance and Scale This unique method allows the ICCR algorithm to investigate system sizes up to N = 1000 qubits. The MPS approximation yields O(N²χ³) computational costs per layer and projective measurement. Optimisation results in a cost of O(N²) for circuits with several T gates, far better than traditional methods. Validation, Key Findings Verification and Key Results The team validated the ICCR approach and found significant agreement by comparing its results to typical tensor network simulations. Numerical research shows that non-stabilizerness estimations are more accurate as computational resources increase, with an average inaccuracy of χ⁻¹. Interestingly, the numerical results suggest that finite-χ estimations often yield lower bounds for true magic values. ICCR was used to study a one-dimensional random Clifford circuit with projective measurements “magic purification circuit” in an exciting application. A measurement-induced relaxation dynamics transition of magic measures was found in this work. This change occurs at a critical measurement density of approximately. For measurement rates above the critical point (p > p_c), quantum magic disappears exponentially, indicating that the system has been purified into an almost-stabilizer state. A large degree of non-stabilizerness persists below the critical threshold (p < p_c), decreasing slowly and logarithmically. These results show that magic behaves like entanglement in such systems and correlate with previous studies on measurement-induced transitions in entanglement and mixed-state purification dynamics.
