Quantum Magic and the Strong Coupling Constant

The study investigates 'magic production' in six color-singlet top quark channels by varying only the strong coupling constant ($\alpha_s$). Minimizing this magic production reproduces the running $\alpha_s$ value to within 5% across energy scales from 1 TeV to $10^9$ GeV. This suggests that fundamental interaction parameters might follow a principle of quantum computational efficiency.
