Abstract

In recent years, a growing community of researchers has been applying ideas from Quantum Information theory to high energy physics. Entanglement is one such quantity, but there are by now many others. This contribution will examine the property of ``magic" (also known as ``non-stabliserness") which, roughly speaking, measures whether quantum systems have a genuine computational advantage over their classical counterparts. We will review the origin of this concept, before describing recent applications in collider physics, including top quark production.
