Circuit rank is a concept used in the field of computational complexity theory, particularly in relation to boolean circuits. It refers to the depth of the circuit when it is arranged in such a way that it minimizes the number of layers (or levels) of gates—essentially the longest path from any input to any output of the circuit. In more formal terms: - **Circuit**: A mathematical representation of a computation that consists of gates connected by wires.
