Magic for Hybrid Boson-Fermion Systems: A Grassmann Phase-Space Approach
Abstract
Non-stabilizerness enables universality beyond Gaussian/Clifford dynamics, yet no resource theory exists for systems combining bosonic and fermionic modes. Using the Grassmann approach of Cahill and Glauber, we develop a phase-space framework defining hybrid magic via the Lp norm of a hybrid Wigner function. We demonstrate it in the Holstein polaron, where phonon-electron coupling enhances magic growth, and in the fermionic Jaynes-Cummings model, examining dependence on atomic and cavity states. At the gate level, we define the non-stabilizer power of hybrid operations and derive a closed-form result for the conditional displacement gate. This establishes a unified quantification of non-stabilizerness in realistic hybrid systems.
