Abstract
In recent years, there has been increasing collaboration between the fields of quantum computing and high energy physics, including using LHC processes such as top (anti-)quark pair production to perform high energy tests of quantum entanglement. In this proceeding, I will review another interesting property from quantum computing ("magic"), that is needed to make quantum computers with genuine computational advantage over their classical counterparts. How to make and enhance magic in general quantum systems is an open question, such that new insights are always useful. To this end, I will show that the LHC naturally produces magic top quarks, providing a novel playground for further study in this area.

Requested changes
- Remove the comment about probing new physics.
- Is "Martin White" in the acknowledgements the same person as the author "Martin J. White"? I guess so, and it is weird to have an author acknowledging himself.
Recommendation
Publish (easily meets expectations and criteria for this Journal; among top 50%)
