We develop a Clifford-orbit framework for studying magic-protected entanglement, which we refer to as magical entanglement: the part of bipartite entanglement that remains after optimal stabilizer simplification. This construction leverages residual entanglement under Clifford reduction as a state-level organizing principle for magic state space. It defines canonical representatives, spectra, and ranks that characterize the Clifford-irreducible structure of a state. We identify two regimes of the magic-entanglement interplay. In the $T$-magic regime, local nonstabilizer resources can coexist with entanglement, but the protected component remains weak and state-dependent. In the $W$-magic regime, by contrast, entanglement is Clifford-irreducibly tied to nonstabilizerness, producing typical, strongly self-averaging behavior. Analytical examples and random-circuit numerics support a crossover from broad $T$-magic fluctuations to concentrated, Haar-like $W$-magic behavior. These results identify magical entanglement as an orbit-level diagnostic of how nonstabilizerness protects quantum correlations against Clifford reduction.
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...
Nonstabilizerness, or magic, is an archetypal \emph{quantum} resource that is necessary for quantum computational advantage. Here we uncover a phenomenon seemingly at odds with the quantum nature of magic: entirely nonlocal magic (ENM)---magic present only in correlations and absent from each party's marginal---can liv...

Non-local magic quantifies the non-stabilizerness of a bipartite quantum state that cannot be removed by local unitary transformations. Despite its natural definition, its evaluation generally requires a difficult optimization over local unitaries. Here, we show that for the log-stabilizer fidelity this optimization ad...
The impact of projective measurements on a many-body quantum state is tightly linked to its underlying entanglement structure. Critical states are particularly sensitive, as long-range entanglement allows local measurements to have global consequences. This has been extensively studied in the context of critical states...
It is shown that the shared resource under DREAM is closely related to the teleportation capability, quantified by the magic of the teleported state, and is strictly richer than treating the two resources independently.

While the full non-stabilizerness (magic) of a quantum state contains local, basis-dependent contributions, a non-local formulation based on a minimization over local unitaries isolates the component associated with genuinely non-local correlations. Within such a framework, the Schmidt-gauge formulation of non-local ma...
