Abstract

The harvesting of quantum resources from the vacuum state of a quantum field is a central topic in relativistic quantum information. While several proposals for the harvesting of entanglement from the quantum vacuum exist, less attention has been paid to other quantum resources, such as nonstabilizerness, commonly dubbed magic and quantified by the stabilizer Rényi entropy (SRE). In this work, we show how to harvest SRE from the vacuum state of a massless field, using accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detectors in Minkowski spacetime. In particular, one can harvest a particular nonlocal form of SRE that cannot be erased by local unitary operations. This nonlocal SRE is a fundamental quantity to study the interplay between entanglement and nonstabilizer resources. We conclude our work with an analysis of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequalities: when restricting to stabilizer measurements, i.e., Pauli measurements, one cannot extract a violation from the quantum field.
