Can a polynomial-sized superposition of computational basis states be prepared with a polynomial-sized quantum circuit?
I think so. Let me rephrase what you're asking and hopefully it captures what you want: Suppose you have $N$ distinct circuits $U_i$ such that $U_i|0\rangle = |\psi_i\rangle$, each with complexity $O(...

Definitions of a quantum circuit's depth and connectivity
I would like to give explicit definitions of the circuit depth and connectivity.
I assume that the meaning of terms like vector state, quantum circuit, wires, and 1- and 2-qubit gates is understood.
I'...

Definitions of a quantum circuit's depth and connectivity
The traditional definitions of classical Boolean circuits work perfectly well here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_circuit. This is the definition that gives you Niel de Beaudrap's definition.

Definitions of a quantum circuit's depth and connectivity
Let me try to provide a more precise definition of connectivity in a quantum circuit.
Every quantum circuit defines a graph (network), with vertices (nodes) given by qubits. There is an edge $q_1 q_2$ ...
