Measuring magic on a quantum processor

S. F. E. Oliveira, L. Leone, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Salvatore F. E. Oliveira, Lorenzo Leone, Aloiscia Hamma, and Seth Lloyd introduces a novel protocol for measuring magic, an essential resource in quantum computing. Their experiments on IBM Quantum Falcon processors reveal new insights into quantum hardware's ability to create states beyond classical simulation, paving the way for effective noise modeling in quantum systems.

Abstract

This paper proposes and experimentally demonstrates a protocol for measuring magic, a crucial resource for quantum computing, based on randomized measurements. Experiments conducted on IBM Quantum Falcon processors show the protocol characterizes quantum hardware effectiveness in producing states not efficiently simulated classically and allows construction of realistic noise models.
