We consider a class of random quantum circuits where at each step a gate from a universal set is applied to a random pair of qubits, and determine how quickly averages of arbitrary finite-degree polynomials in the matrix elements of the resulting unitary converge to Haar measure averages. This is accomplished by establishing an exact mapping between the superoperator that describes t-order moments on n qubits and a multilevel SU(4^t) Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Hamiltonian. For arbitrary fixed t, we find that the spectral gap scales as 1/n in the thermodynamic limit. Our results imply that random quantum circuits yield an efficient implementation of \epsilon-approximate unitary t-designs.

  1. High-rate qLDPC processors

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    Non-abelian "mitten" qLDPC codes achieve 20% encoding rate with distances 10-24 on 150-975 qubits, and simulations indicate fault-tolerant processors sustaining ~10^10 logical operations at 0.1% physical error rate.

  2. Quantum Simulation of Random Unitaries from Clebsch-Gordan Transforms

    quant-ph 2025-09 accept novelty 7.0

    Clebsch-Gordan transforms give exact compressed oracles for Haar-random unitary group actions, with efficient circuits for U(d).

  3. Anti-concentration is (almost) all you need

    quant-ph 2025-10 accept novelty 6.0

    For LU-invariant local random quantum circuits, anti-concentration implies a relative-error state 2-design with error ≈ 4× the anti-concentration error, making the two properties equivalent.
