But platforms like Prime Video and HBO have started a promising trend: finding ways to continue these shows, and other streamers are now following suit.
![The growth of magic-quantified by $W(t)$-under random brickwork Clifford circuits demonstrates a consistent relationship with entanglement and operator spreading velocities, exhibiting an upper bound defined by [Eq. (S10)] and remaining unaffected by boundary conditions or specific unitary choices within the studied architecture, as evidenced by analysis across $10^2$ circuit realizations with negligible error.](https://arxiv.org/html/2511.21487v1/x8.png)
