Nonlocal magic quantifies the minimum nonstabilizerness attainable under independent local unitary transformations on the two subsystems. Here, we use min-relative nonlocal magic (NLM) to characterize the crossover from ergodicity to many-body localization (MBL) in the random-field XXZ chain. Unlike entanglement entropy, NLM probes how entanglement is organized through the distance of the Schmidt spectrum from dyadic-flat stabilizer spectra. From weak to intermediate disorder, NLM evolves from an $O(1)$ Haar-like value into a size-enhanced dome, while entanglement remains volume-law, revealing a spectral reorganization not visible in the entropy. Deep in the MBL regime, a two-level cut-hybridization model captures the nearly binary Schmidt spectrum and explains why the mean and median NLM decay approximately as $W^{-1}$ and $W^{-2}$, respectively. Following a product-state quench, NLM overshoots and relaxes in the ergodic regime, whereas at strong disorder it grows slowly and approximately logarithmically. These results show that NLM resolves Schmidt-spectrum structure not visible in the entanglement entropy and provides a complementary probe of ergodicity breaking.
Nonergodic features of chaotic quantum many-body systems are commonly characterized through local observables, fidelity, and entanglement entropy. Here, using global and nonlocal measures of nonstabilizerness (magic), we study quantum many-body scars near infinite temperature in $(1+1)$-dimensional Abelian $\mathbb{Z}_...

Entanglement embezzlement asks how much entanglement can be borrowed from a many-body state by local operations and classical communication while returning that state with a small error. We uncover a conservation-law mechanism that redistributes the dominant probability mass of the Schmidt spectrum in the logarithmic S...
Magic, or nonstabilizerness, is the resource that lifts Clifford circuits to universal quantum computation and has become a standard diagnostic of many-body states. For a state shared between two parties, however, a basic question has remained open: how much of the magic resides in the correlations between the parties...
We demonstrate a general mechanism to generate scalable, metrologically useful entanglement in the form of generalized spin squeezing in multi-level (qudit) spin systems with power-law interactions. We demonstrate this for spin-changing dynamics, extending the physics of spin-nematic squeezing known from spinor BECs to...

We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of strongly interacting bosons in a finite bichromatic Mott lattice following a sudden quench of the secondary lattice amplitude. The coefficient entropies and second R\'enyi entropy exhibit pronounced growth toward their Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) predictions from ran...

We investigate a spin-$1/2$ anisotropic Heisenberg model on a lattice consisting of two identical bipartite sublattices. A family of exact eigenstates generated by the restricted spectrum generating algebra (RSGA) constitutes quantum many-body scar states, characterized by subextensive entanglement entropy and supporti...
