Randomness is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics, arising from the measurement process that collapses superpositions into definite outcomes according to Born's rule. Generating large-scale random quantum states is crucial for quantum computing and many-body physics, yet remains a key challenge. We present a practical method based on local measurements of random Tensor Networks, focusing on random Matrix Product States (MPS) generated by two distinct quantum circuit architectures, both feasible on near-term devices. We certify the emergent quantum randomness using the frame potential and establish a mapping between its behavior and the statistical mechanics of a domain wall particle model. In both architectures, the effect of quantum measurements induces a nontrivial confinement mechanism, where domain walls are either trapped by an external potential or bound in pairs to form meson-like excitations. Our results, supported by both exact analytical calculations and numerical simulations, suggest that confinement is a general mechanism underlying random state generation in broader settings with local measurements, including quantum circuits and chaotic dynamics.

  1. Unitary Designs from Doped Matchgate Circuits

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Doped matchgate circuits achieve approximate parity-preserving 2-designs in polylogarithmic depth using a sparse number of non-Gaussian gates, with the design formation mapped exactly to a birth-death Markov chain.

  2. Absence of poor local minima in matrix product states

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    MPS energy landscapes lack poor local minima because gauge freedom induces effective local overparametrization, proven via invariance under orthogonality center moves and confirmed by numerics on random Hamiltonians.

    Entanglement asymmetry for inhomogeneous U(1) charges in fragmented systems scales extensively, is bounded by a universal fraction of its maximum, and distinguishes classical from quantum fragmentation.
