摘要	In the stabilizer formalism of quantum computation, the Gottesman-Knill theorem shows that universal fault-tolerant quantum computation requires the resource called magic (nonstabilizerness). Thus stabilizer states serve as classical states, and states beyond them are necessary for genuine quantum computa-tion. Characterization, detection, and quantification of magic states are basic issues in this context. In the paradigm of quantum measurement, symmetric informationally complete positive operator valued measures (SIC-POVMs, further abbreviated as SICs) play a prominent role due to their structural sym-metry and remarkable features. However, their existence in all dimensions, although strongly supported by extensive theoretical and numerical evidence, remains an elusive open problem (Zauner's conjecture). A standard method for constructing SICs is via the orbit of the Heisenberg-Weyl group on a fiducial state, and most known SICs arise in this way. A natural question arises regarding the relation between stabilizer states and fiducial states. In this paper, we connect them by showing that they are on two extremes with respect to the p-norms of characteristic functions of quantum states. This not only reveals a simple path from stabilizer states to SIC fiducial states, showing quantitatively that they are as far away as possible from each other, but also provides a simple reformulation of Zauner's conjecture in terms of extremals for the p-norms of characteristic functions. A convenient criterion for magic states and some interesting open problems are also presented.
