Description
Magic is a non-classical resource whose efficient manipulation is fundamental to advancing efficient and scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. Quantum advantage is possible only if both magic and entanglement are present. Of particular interest is non local magic - the fraction of the resource that cannot be distilled (or erased) by local unitary operations - which is a necessary feature for quantum complex behavior. We perform the first experimental demonstration of non-local magic in a superconducting Quantum Processing Unit (QPU). Direct access to the QPU device enables us to identify and characterize the dominant noise mechanisms intrinsic to quantum hardware. We observe excellent agreement between theory and experiment after the inclusion of the dominant noise sources in our system and show the experimental capability of harnessing both local and non-local magic resources separately. This talk will be based on the recent preprint: arXiv: 2511.15576.
