Stabilizer R\'enyi entropy of 3-uniform hypergraph states
Abstract
Nonstabilizerness, also known as magic, plays a central role in universal quantum computation. Hypergraph states are nonstabilizer generalizations of graph states and constitute a key class of quantum states in various areas of quantum physics, such as the demonstration of quantum advantage, measurement-based quantum computation, and the study of topological phases. In this work, we investigate nonstabilizerness of 3-uniform hypergraph states, which are solely generated by controlled-controlled-Z gates, in terms of the stabilizer R\'{e}nyi entropy (SRE). We find that the SRE of 3-uniform hypergraph states can be expressed using the matrix rank, which reduces computational cost from $\mathcal{O}(2^{3N})$ to $\mathcal{O}(N^3 2^{N})$ for $N$-qubit states. Based on this result, we exactly evaluate SREs of one-dimensional hypergraph states. We also present numerical results of SREs of several large-scale 3-uniform hypergraph states. Our results would contribute to an understanding of the role of nonstabilizerness in a wide range of physical settings where hypergraph states are employed.
