Abstract
Entanglement and nonstabilizerness capture distinct aspects of quantum complexity, yet their relation through the entanglement spectrum remains poorly understood. Here we develop a spectral framework for bipartite nonlocal nonstabilizerness. We introduce a generalized anti-flatness and derive upper and lower bounds on the nonlocal stabilizer Rényi entropy (SRE) in terms of Rényi entanglement entropy and spectral non-uniformity. We further reduce the local-unitary optimization to a single-unitary problem and prove that the ordered Schmidt reference state is a local minimum of the SRE for integer α at least2. Applying these results to exponentially and algebraically decaying spectra reveals parametrically distinct relations between entanglement and nonlocal nonstabilizerness. For broad spectra, we introduce a dyadic-shell sandwich construction that determines the asymptotic SRE scaling. At one-dimensional conformal critical points, it yields a universal hierarchy of double-logarithmic scaling laws for integer α at least2. Our spectral bounds and dyadic-shell sandwich construction provide general tools for analyzing nonlocal SRE, offering a flexible framework that can be applied to a wide range of entanglement spectra in quantum many-body systems.
