Genuine Multipartite Nonlocality Is Fermionic Magic

Abstract:A system of free fermions can be simulated on a classical computer, and a single non-Gaussian state makes it a universal quantum computer. We show that the same line bounds quantum nonlocality. Measured as fermionic qubits, free fermions carry the Bell nonlocality of one entangled pair, no more, however many parties share them, and are never genuinely multipartite nonlocal. Fermion parity is the reason. Genuine multipartite nonlocality is thus the resource of universal fermionic computation, cannot arise from any mean-field state, and we certify it on $48$ qubits of IBM processors.
