We identify a \emph{universal functional form} that governs anticoncentration in random quantum circuits-one that holds across diverse circuit architectures and depths, and crucially remains valid even at finite system sizes and shallow…

We propose definitions of $\QAC^0$, the quantum analog of the classical class $\AC^0$ of constant-depth circuits with AND and OR gates of arbitrary fan-in, and $\QACC[q]$, the analog of the class $\ACC[q]$ where $\Mod_q$ gates are also…
