      Summary: Let \(X_1,X_2,\ldots\) be independent identically distributed random elements of a compact group \(G\). We discuss the speed of convergence of the law of the product \(X_l\cdots X_1\) to the Haar measure. We give poly-\(\log\) estimates for certain finite groups and for compact semi-simple Lie groups. We improve earlier results of Solovay, Kitaev, Gamburd, Shahshahani and Dinai.
