abstract

Mana is a measure of the amount of non-Clifford resources required to create a state; the mana of a mixed state on $\ell$ qudits bounded by $\le \frac 1 2 (\ell \ln d - S_2)$; $S_2$ the state's second Renyi entropy. We compute the mana of Haar-random pure and mixed states and find that the mana is nearly logarithmic in Hilbert space dimension: that is, extensive in number of qudits and logarithmic in qudit dimension. In particular, the average mana of states with less-than-maximal entropy falls short of that maximum by $\ln \pi/2$. We then connect this result to recent work on near-Clifford approximate $t$-designs; in doing so we point out that mana is a useful measure of non-Clifford resources precisely because it is not differentiable.

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For fixed-energy PET states, the relative Wigner negativity of the boundary subregion is exp[(A_out - A_min)/(8G_N)], giving an exponential enhancement of stabilizer complexity when a python's lunch is present.
