Chirality, magic, and quantum correlations in multipartite quantum states

Chirality is a fundamental property of many topological phases, yet it lacks a general information-theoretic formulation. In this work, we introduce a notion of chirality for generic quantum states, defined by the impossibility of transforming a state into its complex conjugate under local unitary operations. We propose several quantitative measures of chirality, including a faithful metric called the chiral log-distance, and a family of nested commutators of modular Hamiltonians. We show that chirality, although not a resource in the traditional sense, is intrinsically linked to two major classes of quantum resources: magic and quantum correlations. In particular, we demonstrate that (i) qubit stabilizer states are always non-chiral, (ii) the chiral log-distance provides a lower bound for several magic monotones, and (iii) a nested commutator-based chirality measure is lower bounded by a variant of interferometric power.
