abstract
We present a novel quantum Monte Carlo method for evaluating the $\alpha$-stabilizer R\'enyi entropy (SRE) for any integer $\alpha\ge 2$. By interpreting $\alpha$-SRE as partition function ratios, we eliminate the sign problem in the imaginary-time path integral by sampling \emph{reduced Pauli strings} within a \emph{reduced configuration space}, which enables efficient classical computations of $\alpha$-SRE and its derivatives to explore magic in previously inaccessible 2D/higher-dimensional systems. We first isolate the free energy part in $2$-SRE, which is a trivial term. Notably, at quantum critical points in 1D/2D transverse field Ising (TFI) models, we reveal nontrivial singularities associated with the \emph{characteristic function} contribution, directly tied to magic. Their interplay leads to complicated behaviors of $2$-SRE, avoiding extrema at critical points generally. In contrast, analyzing the volume-law correction to SRE reveals a discontinuity tied to criticalities, suggesting that it is more informative than the full-state magic. For conformal critical points, we claim it could reflect nonlocal magic residing in correlations. Finally, we verify that $2$-SRE fails to characterize magic in mixed states (e.g. Gibbs states), yielding nonphysical results. This work provides a powerful tool for exploring the roles of magic in large-scale many-body systems, and reveals intrinsic relation between magic and many-body physics.

Universality of Magic in Local Quantum Field Theory
In any local QFT, vacuum-like states have non-flat entanglement spectra because local algebras are type III₁, so no stabilizer state can flow to them in the continuum: QFT states necessarily carry magic.

Magic without a phase: phase-independent stabilizer R\'enyi entropy in gluon scattering
A phase-averaged stabilizer Rényi entropy is introduced for tree-level gluon scattering, with color-independent phase-independent magic that is larger in 3→2 than 2→2 and has a soft-limit lower bound in 2→3.

Connecting Magic Dynamics in Thermofield Double States to Spectral Form Factors
For chaotic all-to-all systems, the stabilizer Rényi entropy of thermofield double states is set by the spectral form factor and saturates through a first-order dynamical transition.

Pauli Spectrum and Stabilizer R\'enyi Entropy in Gapless Symmetry-Protected Topological Phases
Stabilizer Rényi entropy signals SPT transitions via extrema, but Pauli-spectrum crossings of string-order operators distinguish the phases via local-unitary or non-invertible dualities.

Universal Spreading of Nonstabilizerness and Quantum Transport
In the XXZ chain after a domain-wall quench, both stabilizer Rényi entropy and participation entropy grow as t^{1/z} with z the ballistic (1), diffusive (2), or KPZ (3/2) transport exponent.

Quantum Non-Local Nonstabilizerness
Non-local nonstabilizerness is exactly computable for two-qubit pure states and shows power-law scaling and a measurement-induced 'nonstabilizerness swapping' effect in critical systems.

Nonstabilizerness in the unitary and monitored quantum dynamics of XXZ-staggered and SYK models
In monitored quantum-state-diffusion dynamics of XX, XXZ-staggered and SYK models, the steady-state nonstabilizerness is fit by a generalized Lorentzian and grows linearly with system size with no measurement-induced ...
