Abstract
All standard scalar quantum-information measures—concurrence, negativity, entanglement entropy, the optimized Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt bound, and quantum Fisher information—are blind in ideal decays because the two-qubit spin state is maximally entangled for every angle. We show that the stabilizer Rényi entropy, evaluated in the physical Pauli frame of spin analysis, escapes this blind spot: it admits an exact closed form, vanishing at -definite and Clifford phases and peaking at maximal non-Clifford mixing. Two experimentally accessible, nonstabilizerness-inspired witnesses follow; the linear amplitude is 14.3 times more efficient than its quartic counterpart and reaches discovery-level sensitivity at the HL-LHC for .
