Yes. Nature abhors computation.

5) I am glad that particle physicists are adopting quantum information ideas

3b) or look up the Mermin-Peres Magic Square (a different type of magic related to squares with numbers that have certain properties under row and column addition)

4) Entanglement is common in nature. It happens when systems interact.

2) Magic is common in nature. It is only rare in a resource theory where Clifford transformations are free. This resource theory makes sense in the context of self-dual quantum error correction codes.

3) Stabilizer states are contextual. See this short story. robotexecutive.com/BenKrown/?p=40

This is my favorite short story about quantum mechanics and living in a simulation shorts.quantumlah.org/entry/relati...

I have been re-reading the Earthsea books. This is indeed how magic works.

I like the alt-text tradition on this website but I forgot it on the picture above. It is a parking lot at the front of a hotel where people can park while they talk to the front desk. A covered stairway to the right leads to the reception. Beyond the parking lot are oak trees.
