Is this really a random Clifford circuit? It looks pretty structured to me. Maybe we could add some additional information in the docstring to explain this a bit more (ie. the structure of the circuit and why it turns out to be a random clifford).

That's a good point and requires explanation. Indeed, we've been 'randomly' dropping the CZ and S gates from a structured circuit. I'll modify the docstring
