Abstract

Fermionic non-Gaussianity is a key resource for universal quantum computation, and its behavior in quantum many-body systems has attracted growing interest. Recently, a convolution-based measure, which we call the magic Rényi entropy (MRE), has been proposed as a resource measure of non-Gaussianity, but its evaluation is limited to small systems due to the computational cost growing exponentially with system size. In this work, we develop a perfect-sampling method to calculate the second-order MRE from matrix product states (MPSs). Our method uses a bounded estimator to control sampling fluctuations and a recursive sweep to draw the samples directly from the input MPS, which allows us to generate each sample with O(nD 3) time, where n and D denote the number of modes and MPS bond dimension, respectively. We benchmark our method on the XXZ chain with up to 128 sites, demonstrating that the MRE captures intricate higher-order correlations at large scales, which are inaccessible to covariance-based measures. These results provide a computational tool that quantitatively evaluates many-body fermionic non-Gaussianity by accounting for higher-order correlations.
